I can’t say how long I’ve been searching
Sometimes I thought I finally found myself
I had a vision of where I might be someday
But to be that person I have to stop looking

I need to know who I am before I go
Every time I relax something happens
The story is never over before it ends
I can’t assume I’m right even if I think so

We spent one night together
Only one night,
like lovers, watching
The heart that melts
And the river that’s made
But it was so long ago
So you tried to fall in love with someone else

I don’t think about being a butterfly
I don’t think about love like a child
So many things happen in the middle of a performance
The curtain came down early but I kept singing anyway

The way you said goodbye sounded like forever
But it’s not an echo that makes a memory
It’s the sound you thought you’d never hear again
Until I whispered the love you thought would never be
