Butterflies

[Verse 1]
Yesterday, you said my name
I've heard it called a thousand times
But you don't make it sound the same
My future flashed before my eyes
And something told me I'd be fine
With your shoulder next to mine

[Pre-Chorus]
There when the world gets hard to take
I'll be a lighthouse, so safe, so safe

[Chorus]
When you're tired of getting older
The cracks begin to show up
There's creases 'round your eyes for all to see
And when memories disappear
Well, I'll still hold them dear
'Cause butterflies don't fly away with years

[Verse 2]
Today you woke me from a dream
But how could I ever be mad
When you're the first thing that I see?
I went downstairs and made you tea
When you'd forgotten it went cold
I replaced it secretly

[Pre-Chorus]
All of the things that bother me
You make 'em fade so easy, so easy

[Chorus]
When you're tired of getting older
The cracks begin to show up
There's creases 'round your eyes for all to see
And when memories disappear
Well, I'll still hold them dear
'Cause butterflies don't fly away with years
With years, with years, with years, with years

[Bridge]
When it rains in the kitchen (With years)
When you change your religion (With years)
When you're sick of forgiving (With years)
When you're starting to weather (With years)
And you're not getting better (With years)
And you can't quite remember

[Chorus]
When you're tired of getting older
The cracks begin to show up
There's creases 'round your eyes for all to see
And when memories disappear
Well I'll still hold them dear
'Cause butterflies don't fly away with years
'Cause butterflies don't fly away with years, hmm
