Butterfly
The Nixons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're beside you when you walk, leave the navigation to us
See the questions form around minds craving fullness

Just another listen you might find
Just another listen until you can...
See me...changing just like butterfly
We belong...in a better place in a better time
Feel your dizzy to the touch, never down, we're falling up
Breaking free from your cocoon, transformation coming soon

Just another listen you might find
Just another listen until you can...
See me...changing just like butterfly
We belong...in a better place in a better time

See me...changing just like butterfly
We belong...in a better place in a better time




I'm still leading you, I'm still taking you
To a better place a better time
