	They met in college, a few years ago
	Got married had a couple of kids, the whole fairytale you know
	And he was her prince charming til one day she got bored
	The romance, hearts and flowers, well, they slipped out the door
	Pre Chorus:
	She lays awake at night and wonders how it would be
	If she acts upon the smile from the man living down the street
	Chorus:
	She’s already got everything she needs, right there inside herself
	But she spends all her time watching seeds, sown by somebody else
	She thinks the grass is greener, she wants some of their gold she sees shining
	As she’s sitting on…an acre of diamonds.
	Verse 2:
	He bought a big house, the biggest one on the block
	Gonna climb that corporate ladder all the way to the top
	He thinks boats and cars, swimming pools and country clubs
	Will fill up that empty space but, it never does
	Pre-Chorus:
	Keeping up with the Jones’s down the street is always tough
	When you let things define who you are there’s never enough
	Chorus:
	He’s already got everything he needs, right there inside himself
	But he spends all his time watching seeds sown by somebody else
	He thinks the grass is greener, he wants some of their gold he sees shining
	While he’s sitting on…an acre of diamonds
	Bridge:
	The stories we tell ourselves are rarely true
	The secret is, it’s ok, to just be you
	Chorus:
	We’ve already got everything we need, right there inside ourselves
	But we spend all our time watching seeds sown by somebody else
	We think the grass is greener, we want some of their gold we see shining
	When we’re sitting on…an acre of diamonds

	She' s already got everything she needs, right there inside herself
	But she spends all her time watching seeds, sown by somebody else
	She thinks the grass is greener, she wants some of their gold she sees shining
