Backburner Lyrics by Cathcart

Butterflies Kept

0

[Verse 1]
You’re a bull in my China shop
That I’m tryna stop
From crashing into a
Drawer full of the finest pots
But it ain't that deep
Just a snorkel up by the top
You're adorable, but it's actually
Pretty horrible, you broke quite a lot
Still I mad adore ya
In spite of you showing these red flags
Like a matador, I welcome you
Like the mat of doors, though seldom you
Ever think of us, I still ring you up
Like a doorbell, you're a doorbell
You're adorable, I think you’re swell
Though you're full of yourself

[Chorus]
Tell me what you're after and tell me what you think?
Am I just another chapter you'rе never gonna read?
I know I’vе been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I miss all the banter in the summer heat
I miss having fits of laughter when we were under sheets
I know I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
Tell me what you're after and tell me what you think?
Am I just another chapter you're never gonna read?
I know I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I miss all the banter in the summer heat
I miss having fits of laughter when we were under sheets
I know I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I’ve been on the backburner

[Verse 2]
Even though I fought it tooth and nail
You were red in tooth and claw
I could only either lose or draw
You abuse the law
Seize power in a coup d’etat
Girl, you really got your moves on lock
Just like a door’s key, you would cause dudes to pause
The dorky goofing off drew applause
Adorably smooth, you got oohs and ahs
You’re Dorothy, oozing Oz
And I wish I wasn’t in Kansas anymore
But I ain’t wasting time waiting for a twister
I can reminisce with these blurry pictures
But holding onto bliss only gave me blisters
The fleeting euphoria, of which I’ve been a chaser, ensuring ya
I could be your anchor in California
The way I always make sure to hold the door for ya
But to you, well I’m probably
Just a doorman, always last pick
You’re someone I adore, man, but I panic
'Cause we’ve been laying dormant, we’ve been static
Since I started dormin' up in San Nic
You’re the lost cause that I’m endorsing
You really pack a wallop, that I’ll endure since
You look like a million dollars, you’re a dahlia, you’re a doll
A dollop of endorphins

[Chorus]
Tell me what you're after and tell me what you think?
Am I just another chapter you're never gonna read?
I know I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I miss all the banter in the summer heat
I miss having fits of laughter when we were under sheets
I know I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I’ve been on the backburner, I’ve been on the backburner
Tell me what you're after and tell me what you think?
Am I just another chapter you're never gonna read?
I know I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I miss all the banter in the summer heat
I miss having fits of laughter when we were under sheets
I know I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
Tell me what you're after and tell me what you think?
Am I just another chapter you're never gonna read?
I know I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I miss all the banter in the summer heat
I miss having fits of laughter when we were under sheets
I know I’ve been on the backburner for a couple weeks
I’ve been on the backburner, I’ve been on the backburner
