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 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 are crying in the front row It's just love we're looking for Reminds me of the girl next door
