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 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
