"Butterfly" lyrics

"Butterfly"

Constantly creeping caterpillar
Still a swoon in a cocoon
Soon you might emerge
And you're made to emerge
A little longing to love, lush
Starving for affection
Hidden by the size of my perfection
With one exception

If you wanna butterfly
You gotta be a butterfly
You know that nothing falls out of the sky
Still a swoon in a cocoon
If you wanna butterfly
You gotta be a butterfly
You know that nothing falls out of the sky

How do I hide somebody from the great blue wide?
I'll come and sweep you up
'Cause your time ain't up, be patient
Now you see the sun is rising and your realizing
Wise enough to know
That you gotta let yourself grow

If you wanna butterfly
You gotta be a butterfly
You know that nothing falls out of the sky
Still a swoon in a cocoon
If you wanna butterfly
You gotta be a butterfly
You know that nothing falls out of the sky

What goes around comes back around
This is nature's way
Be conscious of what you do
Because you will be repaid
If you put turnips in the ground
You will not harvest grapes
You are what you attracted
And this is why I say

If you wanna a butterfly
You gotta be a butterfly
You know that nothing falls out of the sky
Still a swoon in a cocoon
If you wanna a butterfly
You gotta be a butterfly
You know that nothing falls out of the sky

Constantly creeping caterpillar
Still a swoon in a cocoon
Soon you might emerge
And be made to emerge

Maybe
Still a swoon in a cocoon [repeat]
