Butterflies
Kid Travis Lyrics

Darling I’m scared, of your dad
I have fear and anxiety about your father and the potential consequences of our relationship.

Oh if he knew that I knew you like that
If he found out about the intimate connection between us, he would be furious.

He would come running with an axe in hand
He would aggressively confront me, possibly with violent intentions.

I know that he thinks that I’m half a man
He perceives me as weak or inadequate.

Just do what you want, I don’t mean to bother
You should follow your own desires and I don't want to be a burden to you.

You’re somebody’s girl
You belong to someone else, you have commitments elsewhere.

You’re somebody’s daughter
You have a family who cares about you deeply.

How about now? We’ll do this right now
Let's take action immediately, seize the moment.

You know it’s going down, we’re going down
Our relationship is advancing rapidly and heading towards a potentially negative outcome.

She said, "Who do you love?" Ooh oooh
She asks about my loyalty and affection towards her.

"Tell me who do you love? Who do you love?
She demands to know who holds my true love and loyalty.

I’m begging too much"
She feels overwhelmed by my constant pleas and requests.

You know it’s making a mess out of me
The combination of love and anxiety is causing turmoil and distress within me.

Never mix love with anxiety
It's advised to avoid blending strong emotions like love with anxiety as it can lead to negative consequences.

Baby, you give me butterflies
Your presence and affection make me feel a sense of excitement and nervousness.

You don’t ever have to be alone tonight
You don't need to be by yourself tonight, I want to be there for you.

Damn babe, I never want to be too late
I don't want to miss out on the opportunity to be with you and express my love.

(God damn)
(Expressing frustration or amazement)

I don’t wanna give you space, yeah
I don't want to give you distance or create a gap between us.

I just wanna see your face tonight
I simply desire to be in your presence and behold your beauty tonight.

Run and tell everybody, I don’t mind
You can openly share our relationship with others, it doesn't bother me.

I guess I’ll just stay here
I am willing to remain in this situation or place.

Chasing butterflies, oh oh
I am pursuing the fleeting and elusive feelings of happiness and excitement in our relationship.

I’m still scared of your dad
The fear of your father's disapproval and potential consequences still lingers in me.

Oh if he knew I had you on my lap
If he discovered the intimacy between us, he would be angry or outraged.

He would grab his shotgun
He would arm himself with a shotgun, implying a threat or readiness to defend his daughter.

Pop a couple caps or sum’n
He would potentially shoot or harm me in some way.

Not his baby girl
I am not his precious daughter, I am seen as a threat or intruder.

I just pushed his last buttons
I have provoked or angered him to the point of extreme reaction.

She said, "Who do you trust?" Ooh oooh
She questions my trustworthiness and reliability.

"Tell me who do you love? Who do you love?
She wants confirmation of my love and devotion.

I’m begging too much"
My excessive pleading and requests are overwhelming her.

You know it’s making a mess out of me
The combination of love and anxiety is causing turmoil and distress within me.

I swear one day you’ll be the death of me
I believe that our intense relationship will eventually lead to my downfall or demise.

Chasing butterflies, oh oh
I am pursuing the fleeting and elusive feelings of happiness and excitement in our relationship.
