jillette johnson - butterfly catcher lyrics
sweet short sigh i’m satisfied
i’m in and out like ebbing tide
i know how this story goes
fall like dead leaves when it blows
puffy eyes and harmless lies
i just can’t bear to compromise
tears feel wetter, lips kiss hard
lost like pennies in the yard
we stayed in the bed and held on
if i could tie your legs around my backbone
then i would carry the sensation
all other love is imitation
but my b-tterfly catcher is gonna let you go
moldy bread and airtight dread
i can’t unsay the things i said
i don’t want to face your friends
cut split ends to save our strands
we stayed in the bed and held on
if i could tie your legs around my backbone
then i would carry the sensation
all other love is imitation
but my b-tterfly catcher is gonna let you
get out while your spirit is strong
and your heart’s whole enough to open your arms
and love large
i got to be patient
my body’s violently vacant
my b-tterfly catcher is gonna let you go
