"Butterfly On A Wheel" lyrics

"Butterfly On A Wheel"

A penny for your thoughts, and I will tell you mine
A pound for every time you make me misread the signs
Why do you look out through rose tinted spectacles?
When all I see around are wolves in sheep's clothes

I won't lie, I wasn't thinking of you
'Cause I'm over you now
Take a look how it feels
I'm too shy, I wouldn't know what to do
But I'm over you now
My butterfly on a wheel

How can you see one hundred miles of open road
When all I see are dark clouds waiting to explode?

I won't lie, I wasn't thinking of you
'Cause I'm over you now
Take a look how it feels
I'm too shy, I wouldn't know what to do
But I'm over you now
My butterfly on a wheel

I should sit in silence
I should keep things to myself

A kiss of lips, shake of the hips
Feeling gravity pull me
Into your arms, I feel your charms
Your silence is speaking to me

I won't lie, I wasn't thinking of you
'Cause I'm over you now
Take a look how it feels
I'm too shy, I wouldn't know what to do
But I'm over you now
My butterfly on a wheel

I won't cry, well, not in front of you
And I'm over you now
And I'm over you now
Yeah, I'm over you now
My butterfly on a wheel
