Changing the way
Every link in the chain
The switchman sways
The course of the day
He's losing his mind
Every line to the wrong lane
A passage of chance
And outcome's the same

One day you'll go by (and you'll make that choice)
Today you'll go by (in a rush)
Feels like yesterday (and you're coming back)
Remember you used to say (you're spread too thin)
You with the butter heart

One time lucky to no effect
(Fly away, I try to fly away)
Three times a charm it's the butterfly defect
(Butterfly defect)
Missing your chance is a link in the chain
To choose not to see a missed opportunity
For lack of a better word

One day you'll go by (and you'll make that choice)
Today you'll go by (in a rush)
Feels like yesterday (and you're coming back)
Remember you used to say (you're spread too thin)
You with the butter heart

You'll go by one day
You'll go by today
Feels like yesterday
Remember you used to say

The chain reactionary stands back
And keeps you in your tracks
I'm going in circles
You again

One day you'll go by (and you'll make that choice)
Today you'll go by (in a rush)
Feels like yesterday (and you're coming back)
Remember you used to say (you're spread too thin)
You with the butter heart
