My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away 

But every now and then you come to mind 

Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game 

But when your name was called, you found a place to hide 

When you knew that I was always on your side 



Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent 

But my demons and my angels reappeared 

Leavin' only traces of the man you thought I'd be 

Too afraid to hear the words I'd always feared 

Leavin' you with only questions all these years 



* But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear 

Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear 

Or are you left to wander, all alone, eternally 

When this isn't how it's really meant to be 

No it isn't how it's really meant to be 



Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear, 

How to pull it close and make it stay 

Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away 

And I'm left to carry on and wonder why 

Even through it all, I'm always on your side 



[Repeat *]



Well if they say that love is in the air, never is it clear 

How to pull it close and make it stay 

Butterflies are free to fly why do they fly away 

Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why 

Was it you that kept me wandering through this life 

When you know that I was always on your side.
