Butterfly Effect
Yura Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me a little longer
Can I share a final dance with you
How could have I known
That you would leave me spinning in the dark
Memories on a carousel I won't forget
Honey coated days now so bittersweet
Idyllic sense of reality that could've been
A finished puzzle hung up on a plastic tree

Now we're crying underneath the roof of stars
Crying underneath the roof of stars
Crying underneath the roof of stars

Butterfly, trickle through the time
Flutter by and carry out these words of mine
Keep me close and take me far butterfly, butterfly
Butterfly, trickle through the time
Flutter by and carry out these words of mine
Keep me close and take me far butterfly, butterfly

A room filled with sunlight but it feels so cold
I'll put my mind to it while I feel so small
Whatever I do I'll do it for you
And every mistake that I make I'll bear all the pain for you
Don't hate me if i get a little lonely
Forgive me if i get you a little worried

Now we're crying underneath the roof of stars
Crying underneath the roof of stars
Crying underneath the roof of stars

Butterfly, trickle through the time
Flutter by and carry out these words of mine
Keep me close and take me far butterfly, butterfly
Butterfly, trickle through the time




Flutter by and carry out these words of mine
Keep me close and take me far butterfly, butterfly
