Another butterfly in a spider's web
At nights I don't sleep I just lay there in my bed
I count the sheep, try to outrun my thoughts
Try not to think about what everything costs
It was simple back then
Now its not
It was what you see is what you got
Always be the one with the grass stained knees
Wanderin' through the woods and feelin' free
Another time and another place
Virginia creeper creepin' all over my face
Got the rust to prove it and I'm underdressed
Quiet all around except the middle of my chest
It was simple back then
Now its not
It was what you see is what you got
Always be the one with the heart on his sleeve
Wanderin' through the woods and feelin' free
It's true I really ever only wanted to be
A slave to things that'll set me free
An hourglass goin' in reverse
Every kind of magic without any kind of curse
It was simple back then
Now its not
It was what you see is what you got
Always be the one with the head full of dreams
Wanderin' through the woods and feelin' free
