lyrics

She sums it up in a tattoo, what she sees when she closes her eyes
Scattered circles on her wrist represent a calmness in her life
She fills a jar with notes about love and joy and all the things she wants
She says one half's belief and the other is staying strong

I tell her that I'm insecure she laughs just to reassure I'm not alone
I think about the words I said, think about the words I will regret
She holds my hand says "Listen, breathe and come back to me"
I'll be here for a moment, then drift into my memory

Butterfly, you will die
Sing this song and be happy
Colorblind, you're the light
But you don't see nothing

Listen man you're a lot like me back when I was 23 and young
Fall in love too easily get caught up in some fantasy bout' us
Well I'm not here for dreaming so tell me what you're thinking, please don't run
Tell me what you're feeling, come on, let out those feelings and let's carry on

Butterfly, you will die
Sing this song and be happy
Colorblind, you're the light
But you don't see nothing

I've got so much to learn
This goodbye really hurts
But I know that once I'm out the door
I control my own world
Doesn't mean I won't be missing yours

Maybe we don't understand, maybe we're not meant to at all
We can try to define, 'what is love?' but it's just a waste of time
It's a magical connection, hidden deep in your eyes
A million different colors like a rainbow melting into the sky

Butterfly, you're alive
Sing this song and be happy
You're not blind, open your eyes
This life's meant for living...
