lyrics

Sometimes it seems like the grass is greener over there
Sometimes it seems like the grass is greener over there
I don't know if the grass is greener
But I've breathed the air and it's a whole lot cleaner
Over here

I've been told that the sky is bluer over there
Yes, I've been told that the sky is bluer over there
I can't deny that the sky is bluer
But true north is just a little bit truer
Over here

People say that the suns shines longer over there
People say that the days last longer over there
It may be true that the sun shines longer
But the moonlight shines just that much stronger
Over here

I can see that the mountains are higher over there
Yes, I can see that the mountains are higher over there
I don't care if the mountains are higher
I'll lay down low where my heart's on fire
Over here
With you
Over here
