The Clarks - Butterflies and Airplanes lyrics

rate me

Never had to walk a single mile in my shoes

I'm not saying that you ever really wanted to

We can never go back to another time

But this photograph's painted in my mind

I remember when you made your car fly

I'm surprised we could drive and stay alive

Nothing more than a scar left on your head

What will we dream of next to paint this town red?

The rules we're always bent, but never broken

Sneak outside your house and we'll start smoking

Butterflies and airplanes,

Big Ben, John Glenn, and radio waves

I want to fly back to another day

And there's nothing you can say

To make this go away

Daydreamers Holiday

Met a girl we consummated in the summertime

Turns out she went both ways, I didn't mind

She worked on a fishing boat in Juneau...

Alaska, haven't seen her, she moved away years ago

The rules were always bent but never broken

You said you kissed a girl and you weren't joking

Butterflies and airplanes,

Brain dead, Retread, blown out all night raves

But I want to fly back to another day

And there's nothing you can say

To make this go away

Daydreamers Holiday

We drank on your brother's fake ID

Pass the hat, roll it fat, hey this ain't free

There was always such a riot when your folks left town

Cigarette burns on the couch would always bring you down

Butterflies and airplanes,

Pipe bomb, dot com, hate kills, Jesus saves

Do I want to fly back to another day?

And there's nothing you can say

That makes me want to stay

Daydreamers Holiday

Butterflies and airplanes, Big Ben, John Glenn and radio waves
