  • I see a different road, I see a different way
    I think it's time to grow, I think it's time to change
    Time to rearrange
    Yeah, I've been drinking less and I've been thinking more
    Been wanting different things
    That's what spring is for
    Planting flowers on my porch

    It's butterfly season, I'm finding my wings
    A good time for leaving behind the old me
    Headed for blue skies and lavender fields
    Don't know where I'm landing, just know how it feels
    When it's time to fly

    Sometimes I wrap myself up in my own cocoon
    Guess I just need some time and a little room
    To let them roses bloom

    It's butterfly season, I'm finding my wings
    A good time for leaving behind the old me
    Headed for blue skies and lavender fields
    Don't know where I'm landing, just know how it feels
    When it's time (when it's time) to fly (mm)

    Don't even know her
    That girl from last October
    Right now I'd like to show her
    Who we've turned into
    How the flowers look in June
    When we're on to something new

    It's butterfly season, I'm finding my wings
    A good time for leaving behind the old me
    Headed for blue skies and lavender fields
    Don't know where I'm landing, just know how it feels
    Yeah, when it's time (when it's time) to fly
    When it's time (when it's time) to fly, ah Writer/s: Ella Langley, Joybeth Taylor, Luke Dick, Miranda Lambert

  • Dennis from Calabash, NcI love the song butterfly season. However, there is one thing wrong in the lyrics, and that is using the word cocoon. Butterflies don't make cocoons, they make a chrysalis. Moths make cocoons. However, despite that malapropism, I still love the song.
