Dog And Butterfly Lyrics

Heart

There I was with the old man
stranded again so off I'd ran
A young world crashing around me
no possibilities of getting what I need
He looked at me and smiled
said "no, no, no, no, no child"

See the dog and butterfly
up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
She roll back down to the
warm soft ground laughing
she don't know why
she don't know why
Dog and butterfly

Well I stumbled upon
your secret place
Safe in the trees
you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your
desires frozen strangers
stealing your fires
The message hit my mind
only words that I could find

See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
She roll back down to the
warm soft ground laughing
to the sky, up to the sky
Dog and butterfly

We're getting older
the world's getting colder
For the life of me
I don't know the reason why
Maybe it's livin' making us give in
Hearts rolling in taken
back on the tide
We're balanced together
ocean upon the sky

Another night in this strange town
moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me
no begging to go back where I'm free
Feels like I'm through
Then the old man's words are true

See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
below she had to try
She roll back down to the
warm soft ground with
a little tear in her eye
She had to try, she had to try
Dog and butterfly
