girl next door

You grew up way too young

And I grew up like a kid should

I was playing in the sun

While you were taking care of everyone

You moved in down the street

Said they gave you new beginnings

'Cause your older house was haunted

You shouldn't be thirteen and that exhausted

I don't know how it goes

Why the grass grows green on one side of the road

All I know is when you can't take it anymore

I'm right next door

Rode those horses up until

The sun went down over the hills

And when Shamrock died, oh, it broke your heart

I thank God we weren't more than a mile apart

She was all you had

In that broken house

I don't know (I don't know) how it goes (How it goes)

Why the grass grows green on one side of the road

All I know is (All I know is) when you can't take it anymore

I'm right next door

Right next door

Because your past is in the attic

And your fears are in the basement

And there’s fighting in the kitchen

And you're trying to escape it

We can sit and talk it through

I'm just down a block or two

I don't know how it goes

Why the grass grows green on one side of the road

All I know is when you can't take it anymore

I'm right next door

I'm in Ohio at a show

And they're crying in the front row

It's just love we're looking for

Reminds me of the girl next door
