We've been to the top, we've been to the bottom 
We've known everything and forgotten, yeah 

You've kicked me around, you've wrapped me in cotton 
You've carried our load, and you've shot 'em 

Oh yes the butterflies are still there 
Oh yes the butterflies are still there 

We've argued by the baggage claim 
We've accepted and we've laid blame 
We've drank Sangthip in monsoonal rain 
We've felt separate and felt the same 

Oh yes the butterflies are still there 
Oh yes the butterflies are still there 
Oh yes the butterflies are still there 
Oh yes the butterflies are still there 

We've shared joy and we've shared pain 
We've shared guilt and we've shared shame 
We've bought into the stupid games 
We've freed each other and we laid claim 

Oh yes the butterflies are still there 
Oh yes the butterflies are still there 
Oh yes the butterflies are still there 
Oh yes the butterflies are still there 

Because we came from the same cocoon
