Greener Grass

Greener Grass

Millencolin
(album: Home From Home)

I´m not harmonic
I can´t reach self-esteem
That´s quite ironic
Coz I thought I´d be living my dream
I don´t feel supersonic
I don´t drive in the lane of whipped cream
I´m more like a chronic
Ignorantly swimming upstream

What can I do to be happy?
I have problems to decide
When it looks to me the grass is greener
On the other side

How do I live for the moment
When I always wanna be else where?
How do I reach fullfilment
When I´m crashed and got parts to repair?
Why is my only amusement
Giving other people my despair?
Why do I give jealous judgement
On another´s affair?

I wanna get satisfaction just like
The Stones and Manu Chao
Gotta ignore all rejection
I gotta keep trying anyhow
I wanna be close to the action
I wann live my life now
For htis correction I need direction
Gotta find it within myself somehow

So maybe one day I´ll be happy?!
But until then I have to realize
That the grass is not always greener
It´s only up to me to recognize
That the grass is not always greener
It´s in your head it might look grenner
Coz the grass will never be greener
On the other side
