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 we´ve 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
