Artist/Band: Shinedown
Lyrics for Song: The Crow And The Butterfly
Lyrics for Album: Somewhere In The Stratosphere [2011]



I painted your room at midnight,

So I'd know yesterday was over.

I put all your books on the top shelf,

Even the one with the four-leaf clover.

Man I'm getting older.



I took all your pictures off the wall,

And wrapped them in a newspaper blanket.

I haven't slept in what seems like a century.

And now I can barely breathe.



Just like a crow chasing the butterfly,

Dandelions lost in the summer sky.

When you and I were gettin' high as outer space,

I never thought you'd slip away.

I guess I was just a little too late.



Your words still serenade me,

Your lullabies, won't let me sleep.

I've never heard such a haunting melody,

Oh it's killing me.

You know I can barely breathe.



Just like a crow chasing the butterfly,

Dandelions lost in the summer sky.

When you and I were gettin' high as outer space,

I never thought you'd slip away.

I guess I was just a little too late,

I was just a little too late.



Just like a crow chasing the butterfly,

Dandelions lost in the summer sky.

When you and I were gettin' high as outer space,

I never thought you'd slip away.



Like a crow chasing the butterfly,

Dandelions lost in the summer sky.

When you and I were gettin' high as outer space,

I never thought you would slip away.

I guess I was just little too late, (yeah, yeah)

I was just a little too late.

I was just a little too, little too late.

I guess I was just little too late.


The Crow And The Butterfly

From Shinedown's 2011 album Somewhere In The Stratosphere, this track exemplifies the band's signature blend of hard rock and melodic pop. The song features frontman Billy Ray Cyrus's powerful vocals layered over driving guitars and a dynamic rhythm section, characteristic of the nu-metal and alternative rock genres popular during that era. It serves as a standout moment on the record, showcasing the group's ability to balance aggressive instrumentation with anthemic choruses that resonate with live audiences. The composition reflects the high-energy style that defined Shinedown's discography in the early 2010s, contributing to their status as a prominent force in modern rock music.
