[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You reached over and pulled the blinds
Said the sun would burn my eyes
Told me I had the perfect life
But it turns out (It turns out)

[Chorus]
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 that 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
Oh, it's so much sweeter
God, it's so much greener on the other side

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I guess I proved the theory wrong
I stepped over where that line was drawn
To this iridescent bridge I'm on (Bridge I'm on)
And I'm lookin' out, I'm lookin' out

[Chorus]
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
Oh, it's so much sweeter
God, it's so much greener (On the other side)

[Bridge]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
The grass is greener, yeah
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Outro]
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
