Lyrics

The grass is always greener, on the other side
You're trying hard to be the perfection in your mind
You're staring at the rainbow, but you're colour blind
It's easy not to see
It's easy not to see

There's a man next door and he's living all your dreams
If you've seen him before you'll know exactly what I mean
He has it all, or at least that's what it seems
There's a man next door, and he's taking all your dreams

You're looking for a world that you're never going to find
You keep up with the Jones's to satisfy your pride
You try to find the answer that's hidden by your lies
It's easy not to see
It's easy not to see

There's a man next door and he's living all your dreams
If you've seen him before you'll know exactly what I mean
He has it all, or at least that's what it seems
There's a man next door, and he's taking all your dreams

But did you ever stop to realise that if you lived next door
Your dreams will all remain the same
Cause when you look out to the other side and nothing has changed
You only have yourself to blame.

There's a man next door and he's living all your dreams
If you've seen him before you'll know exactly what I mean
He has it all, or at least that's what it seems
There's a man next door, and he's taking all your dreams

The grass is always greener, on the other side
You're trying hard to be the perfection in your mind
You're staring at the rainbow, but you're colour blind
It's easy not to see
