Weezer - Butterfly lyrics

rate me

Yesterday I went outside

With my momma's mason jar

Caught a lovely Butterfly

When I woke up today

Looked in on my fairy pet

She had withered all away

No more sighing in her breast

I'm sorry for what I did

I did what my body told me to

I didn't mean to do you harm

Everytime I pin down what I think I want

It slips away - the ghost slips away

I smell you on my hand for days

I can't wash away your scent

If I'm a dog then you're a bitch

I guess you're as real as me

Maybe I can live with that

Maybe I need fantasies

A life of chasing butterfly

I'm sorry for what I did

I did what my body told me to

I didn't mean to do you harm

Everytime I pin down what I think I want

It slips away - the ghost slips away

I told you I would return

When the robin makes his nest

But I ain't never coming back

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
