Lyric

Inside the mist, across the stream

I gaze at the horizon like a dream

Toward my dream that hasn't started to glow

I start to run, with nowhere to go

The sunlight reflected in the water so clear

A butterfly dancing as it starts to disappear

Every single day, a brand new world

Was waiting there to be unfurled

The grown-ups always used to say

"You'll understand when you're older, someday"

I still don't know what they meant back then

I'm just living my life, again and again

I’ve ended up knowing far too much, it seems

The dark rock bottom and the blinding ceiling's beams

The dream they said would shine for me one day

Is still trapped in the dark, fading away

The seagulls keep crying with a lonely sound

I’ve reached a certain beach I finally found

Sinking my body into the sea so clear

I was just enjoying the moment here

The grown-ups always used to say

"You'll understand when you're older, someday"

I still didn't know what that "something" could be

I just couldn't see what they wanted me to see

I’ve ended up knowing far too much, it seems

The dark rock bottom and the blinding ceiling's beams

The "Me" they said would shine for all to see

Is still crawling up from the depths of the sea

Those days were truly the best of all

Just watching a butterfly made my heart stand tall

Even a rolling stone was enough for a thrill

I lived like a fool, with time standing still

I want to go back

I’ve ended up knowing far too much, it seems

The dark rock bottom and the blinding ceiling's beams

I don't even know if there's light at the end

For the dream they promised to this old friend

Yeah, those were the better days

Before I knew the world and its hollow ways

When I was just playing, like a happy fool
