From the recording Requests
Lyrics
My yesterdays are all boxed up
And neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting
To be picked to play the game
But when your name was called
You found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side
Well everything was easy then
So sweet and innocent
My demons and my angels reappeared
Leavin' only traces of the man you thought I'd be
To afraid to hear the words I'd always feared
Leavin' you with only questions all these years
But is there someplace far away
Someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over
With the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder
All alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
(not meant to be)
No it isn't how it's really meant to be
(not meant to be)
Well they say that love is in the air
Never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly
And so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on
And wonder why
Even through it all
I'm always on your side
But is there someplace far away
Someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over
With the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder
All alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
(not meant to be)
No it isn't how it's really meant to be
(not meant to be)
Well they say that love is in the air
Never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
If butterflies are free to fly
Why do they fly away
Leavin'me to carry on
And wonder why
Was it you that kept me wonderin'
Through this land
When you know that I was always
On your side.
