Butterflies Lyrics

Joshua Kadison

When the perfume of light
is calling to you
sometimes, a leap of faith
is all you can do
love makes us butterflies
learning, to leave our cocoons

Life has a way
of making us choose
between the dream to fly
and the ground we may lose
love makes us butterflies
learning, to leave our cocoons

So, here's to all the love we had
and all the love we lost
and all the love we tried and tried
so hard to figure out

and all the love we gave
and all the love we took
and all the love we knew,
absolutely, nothing about

here's to all the love
that broke our heart's
to heal all our wound's

we're all butterflies
learning to leave our cocoons

lalala lalala lalalala
lalala lalala lalala lalalalala

You have a way
of helping me through
I only hope that
I do the same for you
love makes us butterflies
learning to leave our cocoons

So, here's to all the love we had
and all the love we lost
and all the love we tried and tried
so hard to figure out

and all the love we gave
and all the love we took
and all the love we knew,
absolutely, nothing about

here's to all the love
that broke our heart's
to heal all our wound's
we're all butterflies
learning, to leave
we're all butterflies
learning to leave our cocoons

lalala lalala lalalala
lalala lalala lalala lalalalala
