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:
Shes 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 shes sitting onan 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 joness down the street is always tough
When you let things define who you are theres never enough


Chorus:
Hes 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 hes sitting onan acre of diamonds


Bridge:
The stories we tell ourselves are rarely true

The secret is its ok to just be you

Chorus:

Weve 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 were sitting onan acre of diamonds
