Butterflies Lyrics by First Thursday

More Than Friends, Less Than Lovers

2016

[Chorus]
That day I saw you standing there
The sun on your breath and the wind in your hair
I wondered if my eyes could ever shine that bright
Sometimes standing next to you makes me lose my mind
That day I saw you standing there
The sun on your breath and the wind in your hair
Your hands are so soft yet you’re starting to cry
I think it might be best if I just said goodbye
[Verse 1]
I don’t think my feelings for you are a consequence
Of the crimes that I’ve committed because that doesn’t make much sense
It's a needle to my chest you're driving into me
Because every time I see you, the butterflies in my heart bleed
I’m writing you a love song but it’s not about love
It’s about all of the things that I’m afraid of
Every time you catch my eyes, they flash across the room
I’m afraid that if I blink I’ll suddenly start to miss you
[Bridge]
I don’t know what to do
Do you ever stress over me too?
Have I ever made you cry?
Staying up for endless nights?
[Chorus]
That day I saw you standing there
The sun on your breath and the wind in your hair
I wondered if my eyes could ever shine that bright
Sometimes standing next to you make me lose my mind
That day I saw you standing there
The sun on your breath and the wind in your hair
You’re smile’s so soft yet you’re starting to cry
I think it might be best if I just said goodbye
