"Butterfly Boy" lyrics

"Butterfly Boy"

And it goes from a 1 to 100
Hit a nerve and it's spiralling all out of control
And it's hard to let it go
It comes with the territory

The vulnerability feels like an ocean
So cold when you're making it down into the deep
Then it's 10,000 degrees
And here it comes again

And there's nothing you can do
Because it's nothing that you did
Ooh, just let me catch my breath
I don't think what I heard was what you said

Maybe every time I let it cut so deep
It's waking up a part of me that I wanted to feel
Maybe it's part of the deal
Maybe this is something that'll hold me down, or
Maybe it's a superpower but it's for real
Is that a part of the deal?
Is that a part of the deal?
Is that a part of the deal?

And it's better to feel something than nothing
But the fragility is killing me with
Skin thinner than a butterfly
Mood swinging with the changing tides again

And there's nothing you can do
Because it's nothing that you did
Ooh, just let me catch my breath
I don't think what I heard was what you said

Maybe every time I let it cut so deep
It's waking up a part of me that I wanted to feel
Maybe it's part of the deal
Maybe this is something that'll hold me down, or
Maybe it's a superpower but it's for real
Is that a part of the deal?
Is that a part of the deal?
Is that a part of the deal?

Maybe it's part of the deal
Beside me, I'll be there quietly
Oh, I want the best for you
You know that I do
Remember the time
We sat on the beach
Your head in your hands
It was special to me
Didn't say a lot
But I knew it was true
The secrets you keep
I'm keeping them too
You know that I do
I keep 'em for you
The memories made
Are too much to lose
I hope that you do
Remember them too
I hope that you do
I hope that you do
