about

September 2013
There was a challenge on the website hitrecord.org where they challenged people to write about how "the grass is always greener on the other side".

lyrics

There's a story in my head
I hear it when I go to bed
Even if I'd rather not
It’s always there, it's all I've got
Guess you could say I've got all I need
It's all up there indeed

There's that one annoying guy
Who kinda liked me in junior high
He was rude so I said no
Now look at him, while I'm alone
He's looking great, with a job and a girl
Ain't it a cruel world

No matter what I do
No matter what I say
No matter what I choose
It's always the wrong way / There's alwasy a better way
I'm stuck in a world of black and white
While all the colours are bright
on that other side

There's that dress I didn't buy,
She wears it so well I could die
And that one movie that I missed,
Of course the best, makes me so pissed
It's just not fair, I'll go crazy soon,
'cause it seems I'm doomed

Looks like I can't tell wrong from right
'cause every single freaking time
I'm on the wrong side of the road
Hey world, this joke is getting old
It makes no sense, how could it be
That it's always me??

No matter what I do...

There's a story in my head
I think it goes without being said
it tells about the things I ain't got
And yeah I guess there are a lot
Of them, it might be that this list shouldn't have to be that long,
But that's another song…
