Butterfly Net Lyrics by Safari Al

2020

[Intro]
Growing pains, I don't wanna suffer through more of the same
Growing pains, I don't wanna suffer through more of the same

[Verse 1]
Was the way she moved
Down one or two
I hook my arm, inviting you
Book my bus, killing time 'fore noon
I's picking through
My water glass
Although the day was overcast
The reflected light, of my past, left me blinded

[Verse 2]
Left me blinded
I have no desire to rewind it
I'm going underwater because I have sensed unkindness
Good wad of money, rubber bands of different sizes
This time it could be different, got the mud and blood to buy it

[Bridge]
Got to be, you got to be different (yeah)
You got to be (yeah)
You got to be (yeah)
You got to be

[Hook]
Running round fields with my butterfly net
It seems empty 'cause it's filled with my regrets
I'm not keeping track of angel wings that I catch
Could be filled with dead grass and I'm still gonna dance

[Verse 3]
Far from home
Living in a basement I opened up, an envelope
And read the words, I feared the worst
We knew you couldn't get away from your studies for the funeral, so we never bothered to disturb or less a [?]
We used the {?] really well
Well it's just her
I thought of how, she'd crack her purse
To buy us treats, at Dairy Queen
I breathe in
The wood-smoke and the dried ink
Grin and show my teeth
Dancing clumsily
Knowing that one day you'd come for me
Her neck smell fresh and sweet
Engines rev, the music trickling
I thought of her until I felt the in-between
Remember what she wore to, wore to work the green

[Outro]
Growing pains, I don't wanna suffer through more of the same
Growing pains, I don't wanna suffer through more of the same

(Running round fields with my butterfly net)
