Kayleigh Leith - Acre of Diamonds Lyrics
They met in college, a few years agoGot married had a couple of kids, the whole fairytale you knowAnd he was her prince charming til one day she got boredThe romance, hearts and flowers, well, they slipped out the doorPre Chorus:She lays awake at night and wonders how it would beIf she acts upon the smile from the man living down the streetChorus:She’s already got everything she needs, right there inside herselfBut she spends all her time watching seeds, sown by somebody elseShe thinks the grass is greener, she wants some of their gold she sees shiningAs she’s sitting on…an acre of diamonds.Verse 2:He bought a big house, the biggest one on the blockGonna climb that corporate ladder all the way to the topHe thinks boats and cars, swimming pools and country clubsWill fill up that empty space but, it never doesPre-Chorus:Keeping up with the Jones’s down the street is always toughWhen you let things define who you are there’s never enoughChorus:He’s already got everything he needs, right there inside himselfBut he spends all his time watching seeds sown by somebody elseHe thinks the grass is greener, he wants some of their gold he sees shiningWhile he’s sitting on…an acre of diamondsBridge:The stories we tell ourselves are rarely trueThe secret is, it’s ok, to just be youChorus:We’ve already got everything we need, right there inside ourselvesBut we spend all our time watching seeds sown by somebody elseWe think the grass is greener, we want some of their gold we see shiningWhen we’re sitting on…an acre of diamonds
