Wish I could be who I wanna be I don’t know who I wanna be yet Control how they perceive me I don’t know who I wanna be yet See what I wanna see Search for another meaning Control how people treat me Make it my reality, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
But nothing these days is quite simple Like when I was young and didn’t think That I’m just passing time Can I stay here catching butterflies? ‘Cause everything around me is constantly changing And I am too, I’m so afraid that I’ll just live and die Can I stay here catching butterflies? (Butterflies) Butterflies Butterflies, butterflies Butterflies, butterflies
I can feel my body shaking Mind is ever-changing Feel good ’til I’m aggravated Never stay where I feel amazing Wanna tear all the fuckin’ pages Settle into having patience Rip the tape off from my cheeks and Make my own reality, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
In the back of my mind, I picture me as a child No outside infiltration, I was outside chasing Birds and dreams, so outside of my reach No internal frustration, I was outside chasing In the back of my mind, I picture me as a child No outside infiltration, I was outside chasing Butterflies, butterflies Butterflies, butterflies
Nothing these days is quite simple Like when I was young and didn’t think That I’m just passing time Can I stay here catching butterflies? ‘Cause everything around me is constantly changing And I am too, I’m so afraid that I’ll just live and die (Butterflies) Can I stay here catching butterflies?
