I still see you in my
Rearview mirror
In the back seat of my car
Laughing.
You have a thing with butterflies
But I maintain that
Everyone needs an angel.

I don't know where you came from,
Though you try to explain,
But I caught you for a moment.
Your eyes had a light
Of something inside
That needed to be free.
Something inside needed to be free.

Chorus
Something in your song
Reminded me of me.
Well, at least that's someone who won't go away.
I could never ask you
To stay here for me,
Cuz you could never live that way.

Don't get attached
Cuz you're a gypsy, you say.
You remind me more of a butterfly
Who can't stay more then an hour.
Who floats from town to town
And from sunflower to sunflower.

Chorus

So here I am left with
My wolves and angels.
No butterflies in sight.
Cuz winter's coming soon,
Well, at least I tried.
Now the butterflies they only come out at night.

Chorus

He sings his songs.
I sing them right back to him.
And it breaks my heart every time.
If I ever asked you
To stay here with me,
I know you'd just fly away.
