lyrics

Your stubborn self won't seem to sway
From an opinion that you haven't had for long
You've been taught and you've been told
That anybody who thinks differently is wrong

They say "Pick a fight for any reason"
That's the sword they live and die by every day
There has to be an obvious divide
Even when both sides' opinions are the same

Will the grass ever be greener from one side to the next?
I can't see the difference with my feet on either side of this picket fence
I'm up here on the fence

Every choice is an indecision
Because the crystal ball is never crystal clear
The pressure's high to get it right
But to choose a right between two wrongs can be severe

Will the grass ever be greener from one side to the next?
I can't see the difference with my feet on either side of this picket fence
I'm up here on the fence

Whatever happened to compromise?
Whatever happened to finding common ground?
Well now that ground's uneven and it's leaving you no choice
But to either lay down or get up on the fence with me

Will the grass even be greener from one side to the next?
I can't see the difference and I've put them to the test
Oh I don't get why everyone's so easy to offend
I can't see the difference with my feet on either side of this picket fence
I'm up here on the fence

Just because you're right doesn't mean I'm wrong
Just because I'm different doesn't mean I don't belong
