Butterfly Lyrics by Matt Easton

0

Thought I saw a butterfly
Thought I saw a butterfly
[Verse One:]
I thought I saw a butterfly yesterday
Came by fluttering then it flew away
It had me reminiscing on the better days
Coming by on the fly to communicate
And just for a second had a flashback
When life was simple, ain't nothing abstract
Playing outside, till it was dinner time
Ghosts in the graveyards on them summer nights
Lay back, never in a hurry then
No path, and never any worrying
Every day was a fresh start
Making friends on the reg
Playing games in the neighbors yard
Used to hustle lemonade on my block
25 cents with some ice in a cup
A little bit of hopscotch in the parking lot
Hickory Dickory Dock tales non stop
Never worry 'bout a job neither
And the worst news was a call home from the teacher
Icey pops straight out the freezer
Think about it, life couldn't have been easier
And now I'm back to the present day
And I just wanna grab a time machine and run away
All these happy memories just passed by
All because I thought I saw a butterfly
Thought I saw a butterfly
Thought I saw a butterfly
Thought I saw a butterfly
[Verse Two:]
I thought I saw a butterfly yesterday
Came by fluttering then it flew away
It had me reminiscing on the better days
Coming by on the fly to communicate
Like where did those childhood feelings go
Where I wasn't dealing with a bunch of animals
And everyone looked out for one another
Gave away my lunch-able if someone looked hungry
4th of July, fireworks at butler
Everyone in town gathering to see each other
As it got larger, setting off sparklers
Who could throw the football the farthest
And when did that tear disappear
It's a little weird, now I'm planning a career
Where did the innocent laughter go
Where I felt at ease, do I have to grow
One question to ask that I have to know
Is why can't we act the same as we grow old
Why can't we be kids on the playground
Looking for a hand to hold as we run around
And just like that I'm at the present day
I just wanna grab a time machine and run away
All these happy memories just passed by
All because I thought I saw a butterfly
Thought I saw a butterfly
Thought I saw a butterfly
Thought I saw a butterfly
Thought I saw a butterfly
Thought I saw a butterfly
