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 my demons and my angels reappeared    Leavin' only traces of the man you thought I'd be    Too afraid to hear the words I'd always feared    Leavin' you with only questions all these years       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    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, never is it clear,    Try 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    When 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, never is it clear    How to pull it close and make it stay    Butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away    Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why    Was it you that kept me wandering through this life    When you know that I was always on your side
