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
my demons and my angels reappeared
Leavin' only traces
of the man you thought i'd be
Too afraid to hear the word
i'd always feared
Leavin' you with only questions
all these years
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
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
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
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
this isn't how
it's really meant to be
Oh it isn't how
it's really meant to be
Well if they say
that love is in the air
never is it clear
How to pull it
close and make it stay
If butterflies are free to fly
why do they fly away
Leavin' me to carry on
and wonder why
Was it you that kept me wondering
through this life
When you know that I was always
on your side
