Butterfly on a high, on a high, highway
When your best will never be good enough
And good intentions don't get things done
You're a butterfly on a high, highway
When you forget to make family holiday card
You think you're clever and plan for Christmas in July
Only for that to pass you by
You're a butterfly on a high, highway
Life is full of disappointment and delight
Knowing there's no way to get it right
You wish your skin wasn't paper thin
Wanting armor could protect you from comments getting in
But you're a butterfly on a high, highway
Thoughts heavy enough to weigh you down
You pick frown up off the ground
Back in the saddle again
Wondering who it was made for
And does anyone really win
You're a butterfly on a high, highway
Keep trying, keep trying, keep flying
You're a butterfly on a high, highway
Keep trying, keep trying, keep flying
