We've been to the top, we've been to the bottom
We've known everything and forgotten, yeah


You've kicked me around, you've wrapped me in cotton
You've carried our load, and you've shot 'em


Oh yes the butterflies are still there
Oh yes the butterflies are still there


We've argued by the baggage claim
We've accepted and we've laid blame
We've drank Sangthip in monsoonal rain

We've felt separate and felt the same

Oh yes the butterflies are still there

Oh yes the butterflies are still there
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
Oh yes the butterflies are still there


We've shared joy and we've shared pain
We've shared guilt and we've shared shame

We've bought into the stupid games
We've freed each other and we laid claim


Oh yes the butterflies are still there
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
Oh yes the butterflies are still there

Oh yes the butterflies are still there

Because we came from the same cocoon
