Catching the Butterfly Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So you born
And so you thought
The future's ours
To keep and hold
Oh, child within
Has healing ways
It sees it through
My darkest days

[Chorus]
I'm goin' to keep catching that butterfly in that dream of mine
I'm goin' to keep catching that butterfly in that dream of mine


[Post-Chorus]
In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams


[Verse 2]
Something learned through life, no fun
I want to feel, I want to run

[Chorus]
I'm goin' to keep catching that butterfly in that dream of mine
I'm goin' to keep catching that butterfly in that dream of mine

[Post-Chorus]
In my lucid dreams
In my lucid dreams


[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'm goin' to keep catching that butterfly in that dream of mine
Keep catching that butterfly in that dream of mine
I'm goin' to keep catching that butterfly in that dream of mine


[Post-Chorus]
In my darkest dream
In my darkest dream
In my darkest dream
In my darkest dream


[Bridge]
My lucid dreams
My forgotten schemes
My lucid dreams
My forgotten schemes
I see through you
You see through me
I see through you
You see through me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I see through you (Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You see through me (Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I see through you (Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You see through me
Believe in me
Believe in me (Ah)
Believe in me (Oh)
Believe in me (Yeah)
I see through you
You see through me
I see through you
You see through me
I see through you
You see through me
I see through you (Ah)
You see through me
[Outro]
To be in your eyes
To be in your eyes
You are (I know, I know)
To be in your eyes
To be in your eyes
You are

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
