"Greener" lyrics

Taylor Acorn & Mitchell Tenpenny Lyrics

"Greener"

Starin' out the window of your city apartment
Wishin' 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 (How sad you were just 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 sensin' some jealousy
By the way, tonight, he's sleepin' right next to me
Yeah, 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 (I stood there waiting way too long)
To this iridescent bridge I'm on (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 sensin' some jealousy
By the way, tonight, he's sleepin' right next to me
Yeah, it's so much sweeter
So much greener (On the other side)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Other side)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (The grass is greener)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (The other side)

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
