Butterfly, butterfly

Burning up my only sky

This is your highway, this is your height

Never felt more far away than when I fly

My heart is a violin

And I feel my skin coming off of me again

Up, up, up, how I flew up, up

And forgot about the only things I knew of, oh

Oh my god, as I grew up, up, thought I knew you

Pulling up, getting down

This whole place is crazy town

Music bumping and the lights gone down

Never felt at home in any place I found

Oh, I live in a cold, white wind

And I feel the chill coming over me again

Up, up, up, how I grew up, up

And forgot about the only things I knew of, oh

Oh my god as I grew up, up

How I flew up, up

And the crowd went hush

And the wild wind shook

And my body was crushed by the loose window

Thought I knew you

Thought I knew you
