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 13 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 how it goes
Why the grass grows green on one side of the road
All I know is (all I know), 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 fightin' 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
