Butterflies Are Never Temporary

Goodness me it's already been a year ago Responsibility only hits you in the afterglow Wouldn't it be nice if we left our thoughts to show Some might say it's the only way to cope Dreams aren't random that's what they tell me So I lost all hope in the things I'll never be Sometimes life doesn't go our way at all I learned that just like I learned how to crawl There lies a world I thought I could walk across Figured that was harmless based on what I saw Dreams aren't random that's what they tell me So I lost all hope in the things I'll never see Where did I go wrong when I wrote that song? Everybody asked if it was from my heart But I don't even know where the first verse starts Dreams aren't random that's what they tell me So I lost all hope in the things I'll never be Hey kid, what do you do when you feel far from home? You think, what's the point of keeping up? With address books of people that never stop To say "why are we?" "what are we?" "how are we?" gonna claw our way back out It's like... "I don't know" "you don't know" "we don't know" Where the buck stops on this ride And then "I am here" "you are here" "we are here" and maybe I was wrong But I "cannot be" "wanna be" "have to be" to break through this glass Find beauty in modern art and Find comfort in where you start It's never too late to fix a broken heart And just in case you wanna hear I am for you all this year People change, and that's ok And we don't have anything to say There are two things I have learned Lessons I've preserved Butterflies are never temporary Oh I look at you and I think Butterflies are never temporary
