Текст песни
Coffee cold on the counter
You clicking down the hall, high tower
Those heels hit tile like a countdown
Rolled-up skirt, you spinning like you grown now
Doorframe, lean, I just stare
You hit me with that "what?" like I don't care
Car horn honk, clock tick, heart drop
You really thought that outfit wouldn't make me stop
You're grounded forever, that's it, end of letter
No debate, no "but," I'm locking this better
Parka to school, zipped high in the weather
Slacks on, shirt buttoned to your nose, every sweater
You're grounded forever, repeat it like a prayer
You think I'm mean, but I'm scared, I swear
Phone in my hand, yeah I scroll that feed
Little kids dressed like they skipped six speeds
I see wolves in the comments, teeth all grin
You just see likes, I see the trap you in
So yeah, I'm the bad guy, black hat dad
Rules like metal bars when you think you had
"Freedom," but freedom got fine print, child
I'm tryna keep your soft heart from the wild
You're grounded forever, that's it, end of letter
No discussion, case closed, I think I'm clever
Parka to school, hood up in any weather
Slacks on, shirt buttoned to your nose, neat tether
You're grounded forever, echo in the hall
You call it jail, I call it "I want you to call"
Not fair, Dad, you too much
All the girls dress like this, what's the fuss?
You think the world ends at our front door
I just wanna live, you just add more chores
They'll laugh at me, I'll be the joke
Wrapped up tight like I'm fifty years old
You don't get it, you just scared of change
You holding me close till I can't breathe my name
Do you want me to be a loser forever? (huh?)
Standing in the lobby like I got it together
While my kid walks out dressed for the night
And I just smile, "it's fine," then cry at the light?
Yup, I'll be corny, clingy, overprotective
If that's the price for keeping your life progressive
