They met in college, a few years ago Got married had a couple of kids, the whole fairytale you know And he was her prince charming til one day she got bored The romance, hearts and flowers, well, they slipped out the door Pre Chorus: She lays awake at night and wonders how it would be If she acts upon the smile from the man living down the street Chorus: She’s already got everything she needs, right there inside herself But she spends all her time watching seeds, sown by somebody else She thinks the grass is greener, she wants some of their gold she sees shining As she’s sitting on…an acre of diamonds. Verse 2: He bought a big house, the biggest one on the block Gonna climb that corporate ladder all the way to the top He thinks boats and cars, swimming pools and country clubs Will fill up that empty space but, it never does Pre-Chorus: Keeping up with the Jones’s down the street is always tough When you let things define who you are there’s never enough Chorus: He’s already got everything he needs, right there inside himself But he spends all his time watching seeds sown by somebody else He thinks the grass is greener, he wants some of their gold he sees shining While he’s sitting on…an acre of diamonds Bridge: The stories we tell ourselves are rarely true The secret is, it’s ok, to just be you Chorus: We’ve already got everything we need, right there inside ourselves But we spend all our time watching seeds sown by somebody else We think the grass is greener, we want some of their gold we see shining When we’re sitting on…an acre of diamonds
