Letra de Butterflies

When I was younger, I chased butterflies
Now I look around and realize
There ain't no butterflies around here no more
More people everywhere
And on ground that once was bare
They've built condos and shopping malls
And on streets I walked where the sun shined
Shadows grow as buildings climb
And I get older, getting colder everyday
The concrete stretches for miles
They put it up in different styles
But it still looks pretty ugly to me
To me
[Whistling lead]
What a pity
They've fucked up this city where I grew up
Now it's grown too big
And there's no room for me
Maybe it was just 'cause I was younger
But people seemed so much friendlier
And life was simpler when I was growing up
People closed up as their defense
Protecting what space they had left
Now everyone's uptight and tense
The city's bleakness makes people numb
Sounds and lights and escape
From having to deal with anyone
With anyone
I wanna live in a place
Where I can see the smile on the face
Of someone passing by and saying, "Hi"
[Whistling lead]
Now I need to find
I need to find a place
Where I can grow and climb
And chase butterflies again
Now I need to find
I need to find a place
Where I can grow and climb
And chase butterflies again
