Butterflies Around Your Bed
I'll be twenty two in a few months
But I feel more like seventeen
I don't know where my life has gone
I don't know why this feels like a dream
My memories should be clear to me
But a haze is etched across my brain
I look back at all the years I've had
But every day is just the same
These butterflies sleeping round your bed
Sometimes you've gotta step on one to get out of your head
No point playing it safe cause tomorrow soon becomes yesterday
These butterflies sleeping round your bed
Sometimes you've gotta step on one to get out of your head
The wrinkles on your hands all say
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
My body feels older than my mind
It's like a part of me I still have to find
Seeing those around me age
I'm not yet prepared to cross that line
Photographs across the tree
Both beautiful yet I still grieve
For the younger me
Cause what grows aren't leaves
And I wait, I watch, the bark will bleed
These butterflies sleeping round your bed
Sometimes you've gotta step on one to get out of your head
No point playing it safe cause tomorrow soon becomes yesterday
These butterflies sleeping round your bed
Sometimes you've gotta step on one to get out of your head
The wrinkles on your hands all say
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
But I feel more like seventeen
I don't know where my life has gone
I don't know why this feels like a dream
My memories should be clear to me
But a haze is etched across my brain
I look back at all the years I've had
But every day is just the same
These butterflies sleeping round your bed
Sometimes you've gotta step on one to get out of your head
No point playing it safe cause tomorrow soon becomes yesterday
These butterflies sleeping round your bed
Sometimes you've gotta step on one to get out of your head
The wrinkles on your hands all say
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
My body feels older than my mind
It's like a part of me I still have to find
Seeing those around me age
I'm not yet prepared to cross that line
Photographs across the tree
Both beautiful yet I still grieve
For the younger me
Cause what grows aren't leaves
And I wait, I watch, the bark will bleed
These butterflies sleeping round your bed
Sometimes you've gotta step on one to get out of your head
No point playing it safe cause tomorrow soon becomes yesterday
These butterflies sleeping round your bed
Sometimes you've gotta step on one to get out of your head
The wrinkles on your hands all say
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
Now's your chance to fly away
