Greentree Songtext
von Gameface

I passed by the place where I grew up
I guess it′s only a house now
It used to feel like home where the neighbors
Went out of their way to know my name
But I'm a big boy now and they don′t recognize me
Since I moved away

Everybody's got a place to be, yeah
Everybody's got to do their own thing
I′d like to see you, but this thing called life takes all my time
It′s not enough when you can get it for free, yeah
And it takes too long when you don't want to be there


See, I live in a house, though it′s really a room
With a door and a roof and a floor to put my stuff
Life's got bigger plans for me
Maybe a wife and a family
But all I want to do right now is write this song

Everybody′s got a place to be, yeah
Everybody's got to do their own thing
I′d like to see you, but this thing called life takes all my time
It's not enough when you can get it for free, yeah
And it takes too long when you don't want to be there

I make my lunch in the bathroom
And I watch reruns of Silver Spoons
Sometimes I think about you
