Matteo Lyrics by Basia

Butterflies

2018

[Verse 1]
Can you ever plan to be surprised
Be ready for the new and unexpected?
You're old enough to know by now
What life is like, well
You've seen it all before

[Pre-Chorus]
But suddenly he will look into your eyes
But suddenly you can't breathe
You lose your mind

[Chorus 1]
Matteo, oh Matteo
And nothing ever will be the same again
From this point your guarded heart
Will never be the same

[Instrumental]
(doo-doo-doot)
(doo-doo-doot)

[Verse 2]
Can you ever plan to be surprised
Be ready for the new and unexpected?
Somewhere down the line
He'll know no doubt
His love will shred your heart
Leave you wanting more

[Pre-Chorus]
And suddenly he would look into your eyes
And suddenly, you can't breathe
You lose your mind

[Chorus 1]
Matteo, oh Matteo
(oh) from this point your guarded heart
Will never be the same

[Instrumental]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh...

[Pre-Chorus]
But suddenly, you would look into his eyes
And suddenly you can't breathe
You lose your mind

[Chorus 2]
Matteo, oh Matteo
And nothing ever will be the same again
You know that nothing in your life
Will ever be the same

[instrumental]
La-la-la, Lah...
La-la-la, la-la-la-la

[Outro]
Matteo, oh Matteo
And nothing ever will be the same again
And from this point your guarded heart
Will ever be the same
