Verse 1
By The Time That
I Turned 10
I Was Counting Down The Years Till
I Moved Out
And Then Once
I Got To 12
I Had A List Of Baby Names All Written Down
I've Been Told That
I Tend To Get Ahead Of Myself Never Paid Attention
To The Old Toys On The Shelf
But The Echoes In This Studio Apartment
Make Me Miss The Chaos Of My Parents' House
Chorus
You Never Know That The Last Time Being Home
Would Be The Last Time It'd Feel Like Home
And You Didn't Know That The Last Ride Home From School
Would Be The Last Ride With You And Dad Alone
Oh The Grass Is Always Greener When You're On The Other Side
And The Future Looks So Pretty That You Don't Enjoy The Ride
Verse 2
I'm Coming Up On 18 Might Have To Sell Out All My Dreams To Buy A Couch
I'm Either Looking Way Ahead Or
I'm Drowning In Regret Or Myself Doubt Oh
I'd Give Anything To Be Good Where I'm At Yeah
I'd Give Anything For One More Kindergarten Nap
Bridge
But My Rent Is Due Next Week
So To Hell With Getting Sleep
Lately It's More Bitter Than Sweet
Chorus
You Never Know That The Last Time Being Home
Would Be The Last Time It'd Feel Like Home
And You Didn't Know That The Last Ride Home From
School Would Be The Last Ride With You And Dad Alone
Oh The Grass Is Always Greener When You're On The Other Side
Cause The Future Looks So Pretty That You Don't Enjoy The Ride
When You're Sitting In The Backseat All You Want To Do Is Drive
But You're Bound To Miss The Moment When You're Staring At The Time
Verse 3
By The Time That
I Hit 40
I'll Be Wishing
I Was 17 Again
So Don't Get Caught Up In The Wish
And Reminiscing All The Things You Miss From Them
Cause The Last Time Won't Just Come Around Again
