"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 / said it 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, 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 / And 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 iridescent 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, he's sleeping right next to me / Yeah, it's so much sweeter, god, it's so much greener on the other side
The grass is greener, yeah
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..."
