High On the Butterfly

Maybe you’re going to die too soon Or maybe you might go insane Life can throw you a typhoon and no one is driving this train Wanted to leave a good footprint Maybe you’ll just leave a stain Feel like you'll float like a butterfly Or maybe you’re just in pain It might get you off with a light touch Or you might need a big hard push To get into the sky like a butterfly And maybe you’ll get a good rush Looking for the pie in the big sky Maybe you took too much Falling from a ride down a big slide So maybe you’re a little out of touch Maybe if you tried to go too soon It is harder the longer you wait Bet your going to try, I see it in your eye How nervous you are when your late
