The Girl Next Door

[PENKSLYRICS]

Here's a recent ish one.

Please let me know your thoughts


THE GIRL NEXT DOOR





NEW DETACHED HOUSES ON A LEAFY STREET
YOUNG GIRL AND BOY DESTINED TO MEET
THEY WOULD QUICKLY BECOME CHILDHOOD FRIENDS
MAKING A PACT UNTIL TIME ENDS
THROUGHOUT ALL OF THOSE LONG CHILDHOOD YEARS
LIVED OUT THEIR DREAMS AND SHARED SOME TEARS
IN THEIR TEENAGE YEARS A THOUGHT WAS THERE
THEY DECIDED THEY WOULD NOT SHARE

(CHORUS)

BECAUSE SHE WAS THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
WOH, WOH, WOH, WOH
OH YEH SHE WAS THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

WHEN HE TURNED TWENTY SHE MOVED AWAY
THAT WOULD BRING HIM SO MUCH DISMAY
THEY SAY IN TIME THE MEMORIES FADE
THOUGH IT’S MERELY A MASQUERADE
AFTER SOME TIME HE WOULD FALL IN LOVE
COUNTED HIS LUCKY STARS ABOVE
ONE SUMMERS DAY THEY WALKED DOWN THE AISLE
THOUGH CHILDHOOD DAYS STILL MAKE HIM SMILE

(CHORUS)

NOW HIM AND HIS BEAUTIFUL NEW WIFE
BOTH SETTLED INTO MARRIED LIFE
SOON BLESSED WITH A BABY GIRL AND BOY
WHO WERE TO BRING THEM SO MUCH JOY
WITH THEIR OWN HOUSE ON A LEAFY STREET
LIFE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE COMPLETE
THEN ONE DAY OVER THE GARDEN WALL
A WELL KNOWN VOICE HIS NAME WOULD CALL

ONCE MORE SHE WAS THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
WOH, WOH, WOH, WOH
OH YEH SHE WAS THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

THE YEARS PASSED BY AND HE GREW SO FRAIL
TIME WOULD FINALLY END THIS TALE
NOW WHETHER MERELY JUST DOWN TO FATE
SEEMS THIS STORY WOULD HAVE MORE WEIGHT
WRITTEN BESIDE HIM ON THE NEXT STONE
WAS A NAME THAT HE’D ALWAYS KNOWN
SEEMS THAT SOME THINGS JUST AREN’T MEANT TO END
IN LIFE AND DEATH THEY WERE BEST FRIENDS

SHE’LL ALWAYS BE THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
WOH, WOH, WOH, WOH
DESTINED TO BE THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
WOH, WOH, WOH, WOH
OH YEH SHE WAS THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
WOH, WOH, WOH, WOH
SHE’LL ALWAYS BE THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
