lyrics

Street signs show me where to go
Sunrise, blankets of indigo
There's a calming solitude
A wave of morning dew, there's light

Skylines outline the world below
Daylight brings on another glow
There’s colors everywhere
Memories in the air, it's true

Don't you wish you could catch them like butterflies in jars
It's almost like they're a godsend, just pull them down like stars

My mind, like freshly fallen snow
Still finds ways to try and outgrow
The intoxicating ways
The innocence of early days

Don't you wish you could catch them like butterflies in jars
It's almost like they're a godsend, just pull them down like stars

Running through the halls of your mind
Emotions taking shape, thinly disguised
They're bouncing off the walls, flying blind
And the ink it slowly fades, and leaves them all to die
And there’s nothing left today, but to leave them all behind

Don't you wish you could catch them like butterflies in jars
It's almost like they're a godsend, just pull them down like stars
