The Ataris - Butterfly Lyrics

The Ataris Lyrics

"Butterfly"
(originally by Weezer)

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
Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away
Her ghost slips away

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, baby I can't live with that
Baby, I need fantasy 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
Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away
Her 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
