[Verse 1]
Chasing butterflies by the water
Watching aeroplanes because you gotta

[Pre-Chorus]
Inside
Inside everything is wrong
Outside
Ooh outside

[Chorus]
You keep your eyes on the prize and your head in your hands, oh oh
You can't see the wood for the trees even when all the leaves are gone
'Cause you're still chasing butterflies
Watching all the years roll by

[Verse 2]
You've had all your life to dream about it
But you never did a thing about it

[Pre-Chorus]
Just waste time
Waste time everything is wrong
But you're fine
Ooh you're fine
[Chorus]
You keep your eyes on the prize and your head in your hands, oh oh
You can't see the wood for the trees even when all the leaves are gone
'Cause you're still chasing butterflies
Watching all the years roll by

[Bridge]
But we soldier, soldier on
Yeah, we soldier, soldier on

[Pre-Chorus]
Inside
Inside everything is wrong
But you're fine
Ooh you're fine

[Chorus]
You keep your eyes on the prize and your head in your hands, oh oh
You can't see the wood for the trees even when all the leaves are gone
'Cause you're still chasing butterflies
Watching all the years roll by
Waiting for your ship to arrive
You're still chasing butterflies

[Outro]
But we soldier, soldier on
