carve it into wood
and watch it all catch fire
it is gone now
it is gone now
toss it in a vessel
and watch it flow down the river
it is gone now
it is gone now
no light in your window anymore
no smoke from your roof
you’re gone
but not the love in me for you
there are too many things that can’t be undone
for too many reasons
tonight I’m sleeping on a butterfly
tie it to a balloon
and watch it reach the horizon
it is gone now
it is gone now
everything is ending
I know this
but my heart keeps complaining
it still wants to be near you
tonight I’m sleeping on a butterfly
sleeping on a butterfly
sleeping
sleeping on a butterfly
