Moving Out Lyrics

Athlete

Moving out to the countryside
to see what opportunities arise
i hope that you can find a place
and maybe i will follow one day
computer time and you have what it takes
to get your heads down and be those greats
henry helped us realise
its worth it when we come out the other side
we are butterflies
working out our lives
in and out of cause
we don't need no camouflage
we are butterflies
working out our lives
in and out of cause
we don't need no camouflage
we're moving out to the countryside
to make the most of all that you can find
first turning now you've grown so tall
a gallery we'll build us upon a wall
now we've got this whole place to ourselves
we can take our insides off the shelf
the vocal always sticks in mind
and pushes til we come out the other side
we are butterflies
working out our lives
in and out of cause
we don't need no camouflage
we are butterflies
working out our lives
in and out of cause
we don't need no camouflage
