lyrics

Greener the Grass

Your life was spinning round
On a pale blue globe
Turned on a whisper overheard
I was feeling flat
When I heard a sigh
Stopped and the feeling was gone before I’d time to ask why
In the blink of an eye

Beside the underground
I watched the river flow
On the bridge I waited til the light had started to go
Then a shadow moved
And I caught your eye
Knew then I was reading from somebody else’s lines
Somebody else’s lines

There a song called restless, do you hear that in me
Playing at being another, ain’t just exactly free
Were never free

It’s like a remedy
To be alone tonight
And it’s not like I’m going to go
Without saying goodbye
While you’re still spinning round
Life’s a broken chord
Playing in the distance waiting to be heard
Just let me be heard


City lights bind us together
In city nights we hide away
When those days are gone, I’ll miss what I left behind
Greener the grass on the other side
It’s greener on the other side
