Comparisons are easily done
Once you’ve had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed

You said move on
Where do I go?
I guess second best
Is all I will know

Cause when I’m with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes

You’re like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get better
Once I’ve had the best
You said there’s
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself

Cause when I’m with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into…

You’re the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now the lesson’s learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know

Cause when I’m with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your…

Your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won’t you walk through
And bust in the door and
Take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I’d like to stay
Stay…

Got a call from my friend
She saw my picture again
In a magazine
We laughed out loud
‘Cuz she said “Remember when…
This was all a silly dream?”
Now I wake up every day
In a different city
A smile on my face
Somebody pinch me
She said “all the world’s a stage”
But girl you know,
Those cameras n lights won’t ever change me

I don’t drink champagne
When I’m back home with my friends
We sip on tea on the porch
‘Cuz I’m still the girl next door
No fancy things when I come off tour
I slip back into my jeans
‘Cuz I’m still the girl next door

It’s amazin’ to hear people singin’ along
Hear the radio playin’ my song
I still get butterflies
Still get nervous inside
In the spotlight
Now every now n then
On a Friday night
Cruisin’ down to the dive bar
We waste the night away
Spend Saturday sleepin’ in late
Those were the good days

I don’t drink champagne
When I’m back home with my friends
We sip on tea on the porch
‘Cuz I’m still the girl next door
No fancy things when I come off tour
I slip back into my jeans
‘Cuz I’m still the girl next door

And even when I’m miles away
I’ll always have the roots from where I came
‘Cuz when it all fades away
My home will still be the same, yeah eh yeah

I don’t drink champagne
When I’m back home with my friends
We sip on tea on the porch
‘Cuz I’m still the girl next door
No fancy things when I come off tour
I slip back into my jeans
‘Cuz I’m still the girl next door

I was living in a small mind
With no lifeline
And no messages can reach me from the outside
When I looked out over the horizon
Didn’t notice the sun was setting or just rising

Then it hit me
Maybe bit me
Then I knew, quite a few would not go with me
I didn’t know exactly where I would be going
But I had to let this river in me flowing

What a lie
When you open your eyes
For the very first time
A real surprise

I started living outside of the box
Crossing over lines where I always used to stop
Living outside of the box
‘Cause I’m not gonna be anybody that I’m not
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
I’ve been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I’m alive

I was living on a fault line
The fault was all mine
And this unstable ground found me down half the time
But I had enough
I had to get up
I had to shrug it all off ’cause it’s the same old stuff

Then it hit me
You won’t permit me
To be an individual
Just doesn’t fit me
But I decided that it’s going to be living
Yeah, I decided I’m escaping from your prison

What a high
When you open your mind for the very first time
A real surprise

I started living outside of the box
Crossing over lines where I always used to stop
Living outside of the box
‘Cause I’m not gonna be anybody that I’m not
I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation
I’ve been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I’m alive

So long conformity
And ambiguality is a new priority
All it takes, for heaven sakes
Is to figure out the face and learn to seperate

I started living outside for the box
Taking my time when I always used to rush
Living outside of the box
‘Cause I’m not gonna be anybody that I’m not
I always knew this day would come
When I broke down the walls for my liberation
I’ve been living on the other side
Come hell or high water every moment I’m alive

Oh, living outside of the box
Oh, living outside of the box
Oh, living outside

Ha ha ha

I always knew this day would come
When I got off my back, found some motivation

Oh, living outside of the box
Of the box, of your life
Of everything that seems that nice
