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
