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'd reach over and pull the blinds
Said the sun it would burn my eyes
(outside your world was way too bright)
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 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
Yeah it's so much sweeter, god it's so much greener
Staring at the dark skyline from a distance
Feels like another planet now
You'd never admit that this one existed
Running felt so out of bounds
I guess i proved the theory wrong
I stepped over where that line was drawn
To this veradescent bridge i'm on
And I'm looking out
I'm looking 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
Yeah it's so much sweeter, god it's so much greener
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
