My yesterday's are almost up
and deeply put away
but every now and then
you come to mind
because you were always waiting
to be picked to play the game
when your name was called
you found a place a place to hide
when you knew I was always
on your side

everything was easy then
so sweet and innocent
but your demons and your angels
reappeared
leaving all the traces of the man you thought you'd be
even me with no place left to go from here
even me with so many questions
all these years

is there some place far away
some place where all is clear
easy to start over
with the ones you hold so dear
or are you left to wonder
all alone eternally
this isnt how its meant to be
no it isn't how its meant to be

they say that love is in the air
loving isn't clear how to pull it close
and make it stay
butterflies are free to fly and so they fly away and i'm left to carry on
under why even though it all
i'm always on your side

is there some place far away
some place where all is clear
easy to start over
with the ones you hold so dear
or are you left to wonder
all alone eternally
this isnt how its meant to be
no it isn't how its meant to be

they say that love is in the air
never is it clear how it to pull it close
and make it stay
butterflies are free to fly
and why do they fly away

Even me, I carry on to wonder why
was it you that kept me wondering through this life when you know that i was always on your side.
