Butterflies
Sjfleish Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

But that's alright cuz I don't need to be, fine (fine)
I'm just trying to understand, why you would call yourself my man
In the deep deep dark, of my, o0o lowly owe
(That's for sure)
ooo cuz I, don't know why,
Diddley dadley doo
It's so hard to rely on (sanity)
Sanity when its supposed to be

hardwired
I fly, so high,
Into your, arms
(I fly into your arms)
But we're a world apart
Its a world apart
Why o0haha hi
Come back to me one day, tell me it was all just a mistake
like haha hi
Cuz I do really want to understand
What goes on, behind your fucking eyes
Im never going to find the time
But I, try to to
See the butterflies
It's not hard
My, my love

(hide your eyes)
Can't you come back to me, one day
