Grass That Isnt Green

She kept trying to rewrite July on her calendar
But it looked fine to me
Looking to make sense out of it all
By using retail therapy
She's wearing her old cheer shirts from high school
To remind her of when she was seventeen
And all the love she shared
Before she got scared
Of grass that isn’t green

Time moves slow when you ain't bursting at the seams
Luckily for her, she's still got time to find her dreams
The other side looks greener but sometimes what’s far away
Ain't close for a reason and she'll realize that someday
And all the love we'd share
If she wasn't scared
Of grass that isn't green

She didn't used to feel that way
But life ain't always kind to those that are
Reality sets in and all the things you love
They start to break your heart
Seems to her the thrill is gone and
Mom and daddy keep on getting older in her dreams
But at least they’re there
While she’s still scared
Of grass that isn't green

Time moves slow when you ain’t bursting at the seams
Luckily for her, she's still got time to find her dreams
The other side looks greener, but sometimes what's far away
Ain't close for a reason and she’ll realize that someday
And all the love we'd share
If she wasn't scared
Of grass that isn't green

Oh, the love we'll share
When she ain't scared
Of grass that isn't green
