[Sheryl]My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
But every 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

[Sting]Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
My demons and my angels reappeared
Leavin' only traces of the man you thought you'd be
Too afraid to hear the words I'd always feared
Leavin' you with only questions of these years

[Both]Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
[Sheryl]Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
[Both]This isn't how it's really meant to be
No it isn't how it's really meant to be

[Sheyl]Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear,
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
[Both]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
[Sting]Or are we left to wonder, all alone, eternally
[Both]But is this how it's really meant to be
No is it how it's really meant to be

[Sting]Well they say that love is in the air,
[Sheryl] never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
[Sting]Was it you that kept me wondering through this life
When you know that I was always
[both]On your side
