Butterflies
Unveiling Heart's Turmoil: Butterflies by First Thursday
Lyrics
That day I saw you standing there
Reflecting on the moment of seeing the person for the first time.
The sun on your breath and the wind in your hair
Describing the picturesque scene with the sun and wind, adding to the beauty.
I wondered if my eyes could ever shine that bright
Expressing admiration and a wish for one's own eyes to shine as brightly.
Sometimes standing next to you makes me lose my mind
Feeling overwhelmed or distracted when standing close to the person.
That day I saw you standing there
Repetition of the initial encounter, emphasizing its impact.
The sun on your breath and the wind in your hair
Reiterating the enchanting scene and introducing a shift in emotions.
Your hands are so soft yet you're starting to cry
Noting the softness of the person's hands and the beginning of tears.
I think it might be best if I just said goodbye
Considering the possibility of ending the relationship for the best.
I don't think my feelings for you are a consequence
Denying that feelings are a consequence of personal wrongdoing.
Of the crimes that I've committed because that doesn't make much sense
Questioning the logic behind attributing feelings to past mistakes.
It's a needle to my chest you're driving into me
Using metaphorical imagery of a needle to convey emotional pain.
Because every time I see you, the butterflies in my heart bleed
Expressing the emotional turmoil felt when seeing the person.
I'm writing you a love song but it's not about love
Clarifying that the love song is not about love but about personal fears.
It's about all of the things that I'm afraid of
Highlighting the theme of the song, which revolves around fears and uncertainties.
Every time you catch my eyes, they flash across the room
Describing the intense impact of the person's gaze across the room.
I'm afraid that if I blink I'll suddenly start to miss you
Expressing fear of losing the person if attention is momentarily diverted.
I don't know what to do
Confusion and indecision about what course of action to take.
Do you ever stress over me too?
Pondering whether the person also stresses over the relationship.
Have I ever made you cry?
Questioning if the speaker has caused the person to cry.
Staying up for endless nights?
Asking if the person has experienced sleepless nights due to the speaker.
That day I saw you standing there
Revisiting the initial encounter, mirroring the earlier verses.
The sun on your breath and the wind in your hair
Recalling the captivating image and questioning the possibility of shining brightly.
I wondered if my eyes could ever shine that bright
Reiterating the wonder at the person's brightness and the impact on the speaker.
Sometimes standing next to you make me lose my mind
Expressing the disorienting effect of being near the person.
That day I saw you standing there
Repeating the description of the initial encounter, emphasizing its significance.
The sun on your breath and the wind in your hair
Recalling the captivating scene and highlighting the person's smile turning sad.
You're smile's so soft yet you're starting to cry
Observing the softness of the person's smile and contemplating saying goodbye.
I think it might be best if I just said goodbye
Suggesting that ending the relationship might be the best course of action.
