Butterflies
Abe Parker Lyrics

How do I tell you I need you
Expressing the difficulty in telling someone how much they are needed in one's life.

When you steal the breath in my lungs?
When someone takes away one's breath and makes it hard to breathe.

My body shakes 'til the blood in my face
Feeling nervous and shaking with excitement or fear, causing one's blood to rush to their face.

Makes me awkward smile and turn around
Feeling embarrassed or shy and resorting to smiling awkwardly and turning away to avoid direct eye contact.

How do I hold these emotions
Expressing the difficulty in keeping one's emotions under control or contained.

When you spin my world out of place?
Describing how someone can make one's world feel unbalanced or chaotic with just a presence or action.

One look at me it feels like everything
Feeling like one's true emotions are visible to others through just a glance or expression.

Is written in marker on my face
Expressing the feeling of not being able to hide or disguise one's true emotions because they are so visible.

Hoping maybe you could tell me now
Expressing the desire for someone to provide answers or clarity to a confusing or uncertain situation.

Am I the only one that's catching butterflies?
Asking if one is the only person who feels excitement or nervousness when around the other person.

Am I a moth in your flame
Questioning whether one's strong attraction to the other person is dangerous or unhealthy, like a moth drawn to a flame.

Do you burn the same when I
Questioning whether the other person feels the same intense attraction or passion in the relationship.

Look in your eyes?
Asking if one's emotions are mirrored in the other person's gaze.

Do you get butterflies?
Questioning whether the other person feels the same excitement and nervousness in the relationship.

I don't know what I'd do without you
Expressing how important and integral the other person is to one's life.

And that's why you're not here in my arms
Acknowledging the fear of losing the other person and the desire to hold onto them tightly.

I'm so scared to lose what we already have
Expressing the fear of losing the strong connection or relationship that has already been established.

Asking for everything that I want
Expressing the vulnerability of asking for what is wanted and desired in the relationship.

'Cause maybe I raised all your red flags
Questioning if one has done something to make the other person wary or hesitant in the relationship.

And these green lights are just in my head
Questioning if positive signs or affirmations in the relationship are only perceived in one's own thoughts and not actually present.

I swear that there's something we both can't explain
Acknowledging the presence of an unexplainable or mysterious quality in the relationship.

And I'm terrified to lose it
Expressing the fear of losing the unknown or special quality in the relationship.
