the boy least likely to – i box up all the butterflies lyrics
i find it difficult to
relax in the summertime
with all the flowers in bloom
i creep across the countryside
with my net and my bait
and a pocket full of veil and twine
i break the promises i made
as i box up all the b-tterflies
i ruin everything
as i sit in a field of gr-ss
in the spring, listening
to the beat of its little heart
to its wings, struggling
for air under an upturned gl-ss
and i put a pin through its wings
and i bottle it up
i box it up
and bury it in my heart
just as i know my friends
i also know my enemies
are the birds and the bees
and my own little insecurities
i creep around in the dark
and i tear up all the dandelions
and i break my own heart
as i box up all the b-tterflies
tirelessly following
its tiny b-tterfly tracks
across the field, in the spring
with a plastic carrier bag
full of fish, hooks and string
i lay a little matchbox trap
and i put pins through its wings
and i bottle it up
i box it up
and bury it in my heart
i folded up its furry wings
and opened up its little heart
it might sound stupid but something about it made me wanna pull it apart
i ruin everything
as i sit in a field of gr-ss
in the spring, listening
to the beat of its little heart
to its wings, struggling
for air under an upturned gl-ss
and i put pins through its wings
and i bottle it up
i box it up
and bury it in my heart
