Butterfly

When I'm all alone
I think to myself
What it would have been like
If I had stayed
The way your sun rises is now just how my sun sets
Though I often wish it were the other way

I can't ignore the feeling that I'm far from home
The only home I've ever known
Since I left you then I'm a queen without a throne
I can't fight down the feeling that I'm out of place
Among palm trees, marquees and dry heat waves
When the sound of the sea from your shore is what my heart craves

If I were a butterfly as you call me
I'd spread my wings and fly out my front door
I'd cross the ocean so wide from dusk till morning
Not resting till I see the sun rising from your shores

I can't ignore the feeling that I'm far from home
The only home I've ever known
Since I left you then I'm a queen without a throne
I can't fight down the feeling that I'm out of place
Among palm trees, marquees and dry heat waves
The sound of the sea from your shore is what my heart craves

If I were a butterfly as you call me
I'd spread my wings and fly out my front door
I'd cross the ocean so wide from dusk till morning
Not resting till I see the sun rising from your shores

When I'm all alone I think to myself
What it would've been like if I had stayed
The way your sun rises is now just how my sun sets
