Lyrics
Why do I find butterflies
Reflecting on the fascination with butterflies
Upon my window sill?
Observing butterflies on the window sill
Do they have a happy life?
Wondering if butterflies lead a joyful existence
Or maybe it's just like mine
Comparing the possibility that their life is similar to the singer's own
I wish I could be a butterfly
Expressing a desire to transform into a butterfly
Doing whatever I please
Imagining the freedom to do as one pleases
I would see the people passing by
Visualizing observing people while in butterfly form
But that would not have to be me
Emphasizing that the observer's identity wouldn't be constrained
Oh up in the sky with a breeze
Enjoying the carefree experience of being in the sky
I don't have to be me
Reveling in the freedom from one's own identity
Flying around with no plans
Exploring aimlessly with no specific plans
Being whoever I am
Embracing the ability to be oneself without constraints
If I was a butterfly (If I was a butterfly)
Repeating the desire to be a butterfly
I'd live for a couple of weeks (I'd have no secrets to tell)
Envisioning a short-lived existence with no hidden truths
I'd spend my time flying high
Imagining spending time soaring high in the air
Dancing with the flowers and bees
Visualizing joyous activities with flowers and bees
I'd fly as high as I can
Aspiring to fly to great heights for a meaningful experience
To try and feel something
Expressing a desire to feel something profound
The world around me crying
Acknowledging the world's troubles while in flight
But I'll be gone in just a few a weeks
Highlighting the transient nature of the butterfly's existence
I wish I could be a butterfly
Reiterating the wish to transform into a butterfly
Doing whatever I please
Desiring the freedom to act without constraints
I would see the people passing by
Imagining observing people passing by in butterfly form
But that would not have to be me
Reiterating that the observer's identity wouldn't be limited
Oh up in the sky with a breeze
Enjoying the carefree experience of being in the sky (repeated)
I don't have to be me
Reveling in the freedom from one's own identity (repeated)
Flying around with no plans
Exploring aimlessly with no specific plans (repeated)
Being whoever I am
Embracing the ability to be oneself without constraints (repeated)
Oh I-I'll fly
Expressing the act of flying as a butterfly
I'm gone
Indicating departure without saying farewell
Won't say goodbye
Choosing not to express goodbyes
Tonight I'll go
Deciding to leave for the night
Won't miss my home
Affirming the readiness to leave one's home
