stable life

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 wedding 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
