Let's Go Chasing Butterflies
Kari Amirian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I want the sun
Snow is falling down
When I wanna talk
There is no one ′round me in town

I want us to be
The inspired dream
Don't misinterpret
I don′t mean the coma instead

Oh, life is bittersweet
Once you laugh
And then twice you weep
It's gonna be alright
It won't get me down

Ocean in a boat
Rain inside the house
When we pick a fight
Everything is upside down

Oh, life is bitersweet
Once above and twice underneath
It′s gonna be alright
It won′t get me down

Sing me
Songs never heard before
Make ma a wonder
And take me to the moon
Catch me a bright star
And dance me to the dawn

Make me smile
Make me shivering
Just a little
I want my happy hour now

Let's go chasing butterflies

My whole world
Goes at speed of love
I tip you the wink
Hoping we will fly up above

Life can be a birthday cake
Dreams will come true when you′re awake
It's gonna be alright
It won′t get you down

Life can be a happy mess
When we give what we got the best
We're gonna be alright
It won′t get us down

Sing me
Songs never heard before
Make ma a wonder
And take me to the moon
Catch me a bright star
And dance me to the dawn

Make me smile
Make me shivering
Just a little

I want my butterflies
You'll get the butterflies too

I'll make you shivering
Not too little
I want my happy hour now
