Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There I was with the old man
Stranded again, so off I'd ran
A young world crashing around me
No possibilities of getting what I need
He looked at me and smiled
Said, "No, no, no, no, no, child"
[Chorus]
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air, he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below, she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground, laughing
She don't know why
She don't know why
Dog and butterfly
[Verse 2]
Well, I stumbled upon your secret place
Safe in the trees, you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires, frozen strangers stealing your fires
The message hit my mind, only words that I could find
[Chorus]
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air, he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below, she had to try
And she roll back down to the warm soft ground
Well, laughing to the sky
Up to the sky
Dog and butterfly
[Bridge]
We're getting older, the world's getting colder
For the life of me, I don't know the reason why
Maybe it's livin' making us give in
Hearts rolling in, taken back on the tide
We're balanced together, ocean upon the sky
[Verse 3]
Another night in this strange town
Moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me
Just begging to go back where I'm free
Feels like I'm through
Then the old man's words are true
[Chorus]
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air, he like to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below, she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
With a little tear in her eye, yeah
She had to try
She had to try
[Outro]
Dog and butterfly, yeah
Up in the air, he like to fly
The dog and butterfly
Below, she had to try
She rolled back down to the warm soft ground
Laughing, she don't know why
But she had to try
She had to try
Dog and butterfly
