I seem to always make a fool of myself I spend my nights alone Can't stop to face the truth 'bout myself Because everyone's always on the go Yeah, in two years, you'll be findin' a lover And in ten, I'll just be findin' my feet And I see weddin' bands, sonograms In your life and times, but All I see for me is grey Was I really made for that stable life, though? Stable life though I can't go on with that stable life, though Stable life though No matter how hard I try I never picture it like how you see your stable life ♪
I have a hard time enjoyin' myself I'm watchin' everyone smile around me They go home with their boyfriends They go home with their friends And I'm left to my idle thoughts once again And in five years, you'll move back to this city Where I never felt like I was enough Buy that house with the brick patio Three roads down from where you and I grew up Was I really made for that stable life, though? Stable life though And I can't go on with that stable life though Stable life though No matter how hard I try I never picture it like how you see your stable life (Yeah) You're the girl next door (girl next door) The one my parents adore (parents adore) They secretly hoped we were more But you're just the girl next door
