The Grass Is Only Greener

Is she looking good on paper, on the backlit lcd?
Of the laptop on the airplane, as you fly away from me
On that window screen horizon, are you liking what you see?
In the hint of your reflection
The distance begs the question
If the vision is the person she seems to be

Don't hop the fence, don't try the gate
For once in your leap-then-look life, hesitate
The grass is only greener cause it's farther away

As your bootheels play the jetway, do you wonder what you'll do?
As your fingers flag the taxi, do you dream a dream or two?
The boss has booked you four-star, a kingsize bed, a view
You could take the leap and call her
I'd never be the wiser
But you'd think better of that header if you'd think it through

Don't hop the fence, don't try the gate
For once in your leap-then-look life, hesitate
The grass is only greener cause it's farther away

The silver shimmer of the rising desert heat
Will0 disappear and leave you dry
But the pearly clouds hanging patient in the east
Will soak the roots with sweet relief and clear the sky

Don't hop the fence, don't try the gate
For once in your leap-then-look life, hesitate
The grass is only greener cause she's out with the spray paint every day
The grass is only greener cause it's farther away
