My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away

But every now and then you come to mind

'Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game

But when your name was called, you found a place to hide

When you knew that I was always on your side Well, everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent

But your demons and your angels reappeared

Leaving only traces of the man you thought you'd be

Leaving me with no place left to go from here

Leaving you so many questions all these years Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear

Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear

Or are you left to wander, all alone, eternally

This isn't how it's really meant to be

No, it isn't how it's really meant to be Well, they say that love is in the air but never is it 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 and wonder why

Even through it all, I'm always on your side But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear

Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear

Or are you left to wander, all alone, eternally

But is this how it's really meant to be

No, is it how it's really meant to be If they say that love is in the air, never is it clear

How to pull it close and make it stay

If butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away

Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why

Was it you that kept me wondering through this life

When you know that I was always on your side
