Lyrics
Young boy chased a butterfly
Took him back home quick, where his mumma cried
Found her sat by a summer pine
Soon as he walked in smiled, with her dark eyes
Said we haven't spoken in weeks
That's why I'm outside when you're harder to reach
Find your voice in the trees like they're starting to speak
Each branch with a note that is starting to leaf
I see you
Like a breeze
Not quite, but it puts me at ease
And every time when I'm numb to the fact
That you've moved out from your mummas house well i feel glad
That you've moved on, grown up
Shown how, you can jump ship but that's it you're still here
Fact of the matter is
You're a fan of the way it is
And understanding that you have to risk
A quick move to the city
As find yourself a life that is blue but pretty
You keep saying to yourself 'that'll do, it'll fit me
Till you call your mums phone when the week gets shitty
I'd be passed out
Thinking bout the past now
Can you leave it fast, how?
I guess we have to find out
—————————
I won't be awake but I'll leave on a light
The sheets haven't changed since you stayed last time
See yourself in a frame
You've got those same eyes
I gave you my wings so you could fly
Go chase the butterfly
—————————
Yeah fell in love like hard eyes
Heart break then came like hard times
Call mum and you say that you cut ties
Didn't really work out had to say your goodbyes
New job, so that takes the hit
Starts to fix real quick at your problem list
You share a drink and an honest kiss
Where on a night out something lives
You start to feel like a comet's wish
As then the smile inside say: this is it
You start to see a new future
House and kids as your forgetting your past and your problem list
You take a walk, and the walks roll by into sweet little days
