Lifehouse - Butterfly lyrics

She watches a darkness creeping up
About half past eight
She sit's by the weeping willow
Says that she can relate
She dreams of someday getting
Out of this place
She says she's never felt at home
Even in her own face

I know it won't be long
Till you turn into a butterfly
I know you're weak and you're hanging on
Go and give it another try

She dreams of puppies and those
Wings that look like parachutes
She dreams of waterfalls that sweep
Your feet from under you
She finds her comfort inside bedtime
Stories and fairy tales
Anything with a happy ending she
Says it can never fail

I know it won't be long
Till you turn into a butterfly
I know you're weak but you're hanging on
Cause you're dreaming of an open sky

She don't wanna talk about it cause
That's all that she's done
She don't wanna think about it
She's not the only one
She doesn't wanna be what she
Doesn't have to be doesn't have to be

She wants to be the girl whose swept
Off her feet in the end
She wants to live a life that's
Real and not just for pretend
She dreams of laughter echoing and
Says it's her favorite sound
She dreams of plastic parents that
Will never let her down

And I know it won't be long
Till you turn into a butterfly
I know you're weak and you're hanging on
Cause you're dreaming of an open sky
Go and give it another try
And I know it won't be long
Till you turn into a butterfly
I know you're weak but you're hanging on
Cause you're dreaming of an open sky
