Greener

Staring out the window of your city apartment

Wishing I was anywhere else

Right then and there I made myself a promise

That one day I'd escape your hell

You reached over and pulled the blinds

Said the sun would burn my eyes

Told me I had the perfect life

But it turns out

It turns out

The grass is greener on the other side

Yeah, it looks even better than what I had in mind

Yeah, I could build a house and maybe paint it white

Now I see for miles and it's all mine

Yeah, it's all mine

Always said that I wouldn't amount to anything

Oh, and lately I've been sensing some jealousy

By the way, tonight, he's sleeping right next to me

Oh, it's so much sweeter

God, it's so much greener on the other side

Staring at the dark skyline from a distance

Feels like another planet now

Like another planet

And you'd never admit that this one existed

Runnin' felt so out of bounds

I guess I proved the theory wrong

I stepped over where that line was drawn

To this viridescent bridge I'm on

And I'm lookin' out, I'm lookin' out

The grass is greener on the other side

Yeah, it looks even better than what I had in mind

Yeah, I could build a house and maybe paint it white

Now I see for miles and it's all mine

Yeah, it's all mine

Always said I wouldn't amount to anything

Oh, and lately I've been sensing some jealousy

By the way, tonight, he's sleeping right next to me

Oh, it's so much sweeter

God, it's so much greener

On the other side

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The grass is greener, yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh

The grass is greener on the other side

Yeah, it looks even better than what I had in mind

I could build a house and maybe paint it white

Now I see for miles and it's all mine

It's all mine
