well now i have arrived
and no ones there to greet me
wouldnt it be nice and swell
if a hip girl would tease me
walk right up to the pretty girl at the open bar, she looked so amusing
she took one look, smacked me in my face, fell to the ground
oh how humiliating
the grass is greener when you are cleaner they claim
and i stand on the edge of the world, with nothing to say
well i know you but theyll never know you like i do
they say they do, but theyll never know you like i do
could you please explain to me
why im feeling so hazy
dont tell me its the weed
maybe im just lazy
this could be my chance to break it out, make me whole again
oh what a thrill now
one by one they will all fall down im alone again
how intoxicating liberating woahh
the grass is greener when you are cleaner they claim
and i stand on the edge of the world, with nothing to say
well i know you but theyll never know you like i do
they say they do, but theyll never know you like i do
if you see me, dont stop and point at me
just take my beer from me, cause i dont wanna know that truth
because the grass is greener when you are cleaner they claim
and i stand on the edge of the world, with nothing to say
well i know you but theyll never know you like i do
they say they do, but theyll never know you like i do
