Intro

Verse

  My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away

But ev'ry 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

Verse

(STING)

  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

Chorus

  Now 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 wander, all alone, eternally

  This isn't how it's really meant to be

No it isn't how it's really meant to be

Verse

  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, 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 we left to wander, all alone, eternally

  This isn't how it's really meant to be

No it isn't how it's really meant to be

Verse

  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 wondering through this life

  When you know that I was always on your side
