So Many Lives letra

When I was a caterpillar inching along
I stared up at the sunshine all day long
I fell for all the butterflies floating around
I didn't have a prayer boys, butterflies never look down
It's been so many lives just to find your eyes, babe you gotta let me in

When I was a bumblebee, baby you were the queen
They told me of your beauty, oh but I never did see
I sang outside your window everyday as the sun went down
I guess you were busy, oh you never came around
It's been so many lives just to find your eyes, babe you gotta let me in

When I was a sperm whale swimming free
I spent my lonely nights out in the cold Spanish sea
They told me you were out there off the coast of Oregon
I swam around the world babe, but I guess you were already gone
It's been so many lives just to find your eyes, babe you gotta let me in

When I was a chimpanzee swinging from the vines
I walked across the jungle just to sit down by your side
But when I finally got there, there were too many on your arm
I fell out of the tree singing "last time's a charm"

It's been so many lives just to find your eyes, oh you gotta let me in
It's been so many lives, I tell you now's our time, oh just let me in
