Butterflies
Nieman Lyrics

As clear as an ocean sunset
It was evident and unmistakable, like the vivid beauty of a sunset over the ocean.

I knew just what I wanted
I had a clear understanding and desire for what I was looking for.

Call me crazy, call me anything
You can label me as insane or use any other derogatory term, but it doesn't matter to me.

Just happy you were calling me
I felt pure joy and contentment knowing that you were reaching out to me.

People would say I was young and dumb
Others may have thought I was naive or foolish due to my age.

But why would I keep looking 'round?
There was no need for me to search elsewhere.

When everything i wanted in someone
Because everything I desired in a partner

Was everything you were about
Could be found in everything that defined you.

But I knew then like I know right now
I was confident in that belief back then, just as I am now.

We'd make it here some way, somehow
We would undoubtedly succeed and thrive, regardless of the obstacles we faced.

Cuz I knew you were the one from the jump
I had an immediate recognition that you were my soulmate right from the start.

Baby honestly
My love, to be completely open and sincere.

Whenever you were next to me
Whenever we were in close proximity.

The nervousness wouldn't cease
The feeling of nervousness wouldn't subside.

Yeah
Indeed.

I knew you were the one cuz the butterflies wouldn't leave me alone
I was sure you were the one because the fluttering excitement in my stomach never disappeared.

Threw my sense in a wishing well
I disregarded my logic and reasoning, like throwing them into a well of hopes and wishes.

I'm tripping over myself
I am constantly stumbling over my own words and actions.

My heart is on display like show and tell
My emotions are fully exposed and visible, like a show-and-tell presentation.

How hard is it to say how hard I fell for you
It's challenging to express just how deeply I fell in love with you.

But you just knew
But somehow, you understood without me needing to explicitly articulate it.

How do you do all that you do?
I am in awe of your abilities and actions.

Did you know we'd make it too?
Were you also aware that we would overcome any obstacles and succeed together?

It's only with you that I stutter my words
Only in your presence do I find myself speaking hesitantly and with a stammer.

Only with you that I struggle with nerves
Only when I am with you do I battle with nervousness.

Only with you each day feels like the first
Every day with you brings the same exhilaration and excitement as our first encounter.

Always been you, only been you
Throughout my life, it has always been you and no one else.

Back in the days cruising in your Rav4
Remembering a past time when we used to drive around in your Rav4.

I knew right then that I didn't need more
During that moment, I realized that I didn't require anything or anyone else.

Only with you that I've ever been sure
Only when I am with you do I have complete certainty and confidence.

Only with you, it's always been you
It has always been you, and it will continue to be only you.

Cuz I knew you were the one from the jump
Because I knew right from the beginning that you were the one for me.

Cuz I knew you were the one from the jump
Because I knew right from the start that you were meant to be the one for me.

Baby honestly
My love, speaking with complete honesty and sincerity.

Whenever you were next to me
Whenever we were in close proximity.

The nervousness wouldn't cease
The feeling of nervousness wouldn't subside.

Yeah
Indeed.

I knew you were the one cuz the butterflies wouldn't leave me alone
I was certain you were the one because the fluttering excitement in my stomach never disappeared.
