This is one of the most beautiful songs I know, and certainly one of my favorite Sheryl Crow songs (lyrics below video).

My yesterdays are all boxed up, and neatly put away. But every now and then you come to mind. ‘Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game. When your name was called, you found a place to hide, when you knew that I was always on your side.
Everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent, but your angels and your demons reappeared, leaving only traces of the man you thought you’d be, leaving me with no place left to go from here, leaving me so many questions all these years.
Is there someplace far away? Someplace where all is clear? Easy to start over, with the ones you hold so dear? Or are we left to wonder, all alone eternally, this isn’t how it’s really meant to be. No, it isn’t how it’s really meant to be.
They say that love is in the air, but never is it clear, how to pull it close and make it stay. Butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away? Leaving me to carry on and wonder why, when you knew that I was always on your side.
