Queensberry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes you gotta let a good thing go
so long to the girl I know
I feel it something´s coming over me
ike a wave taking mw were I wanna be

Always changing, moving faster than the speed of light
I´ve been waiting for the moment to be right
CHORUS

Gonna close my eyes gonna say goodbye
and I won´t look down I´m taking to the sky
gonna shed my skin my new life begins
you won´t recognise mw now I´ve got my wings
I´m a butterfly

Caterpillar butterfly Caterpillar butterfly
There is more than meets the eye
Caterpillar butterfly

No one else can know what´s going on with me
soon everybody´s gonna see
My new self shines much brighter than before
like the sun I wont hold back anymore

Always reaching, searching for a way to catch the light
I´ve been waiting for the moment to be right

CHORUS

(2x) Caterpillar butterfly Caterpillar butterfly
There is more than meets the eye
Caterpillar butterfly

Funny how the one who´s the heart of the party
used to be a flower clinging to the wall
funny how the girl who couldn´t speak her mind
has been left behind, now that I´m
no longer invisible

CHORUS

(2x) Caterpillar butterfly Caterpillar butterfly




There is more than meets the eye
Caterpillar butterfly
