She's always wanted to sing like me But the funny thing is that I would die to look like her (like her) And her brother fights to be like their father A little bit braver a little bit smarter Just like a good boy ought to be CHORUS: The grass is always greener on the other side You think that something's sweeter that you haven't even tried And we have been so good at pulling ourselves high enough To see over the wall While we dream about what we miss We're missing out on life There's a young girl trying to grow up faster While her mother hangs on to days that pass long ago We're dropping treasure out in search for gold CHORUS: The grass is always greener on the other side You think that something's sweeter that you haven't even tried And we have been so good at pulling ourselves high enough To see over the wall While we dream about what we miss We're missing out on life BRIDGE: Cause I don't wanna miss a thing Don't want to miss out I forget I can sing When I don't make a sound Don't want to miss a thing Don't want to miss out on peace Let me rest here knowing I can breathe I'm breathing. She's always wanted to sing like me And I know as hard as I try I'll never look like her So I'll just smile And start to sing.
