Lyrics

Know we're scared of us, what this might become

Expressing fear or hesitation about the potential outcome of the relationship.

Ain't no goin' back no more, no more

Emphasizing the irreversibility of the situation; there's no turning back.

We're in the same bed, cannot lay awake

Being in close physical proximity but emotionally distant during the night.

Let's fill up this space with us

Suggesting a desire to fill the emotional void between them with their presence.


Butterfly, yeah, yeah

Using "Butterfly" as a metaphor for transformation or change.

You make me feel brand new

Feeling a sense of renewal and freshness because of the partner's influence.


Oh, I feel it comin', got a rush like I'm runnin' late

Experiencing a powerful and exciting feeling, no longer actively searching for something else.

No longer lookin' for somethin'

-

Oh, I feel it comin', got a rush like I'm runnin' late

-

No longer lookin' for somethin'

-

Oh, oh, oh

Repeating the expression of heightened emotions, possibly joy or anticipation.

So you seem to think you're invisible

Feeling unnoticed or disregarded by the partner.

You're so far from silhouette

Describing a significant emotional distance; the partner is not clearly seen or understood.

You tell on yourself between every word

Revealing personal details unintentionally while communicating.

And leave all this room for me

Creating space for the speaker to understand and fill the emotional gaps.


Butterfly, yeah

Reiterating the metaphor of a butterfly, possibly representing fragility or beauty.

I miss feelin' for you

Expressing a longing for the emotional connection that was previously felt.


Oh, I feel it comin', got a rush like I'm runnin' late

Reiterating the intense rush of emotions and the cessation of the search for something more.

No longer lookin' for somethin'

-

Oh, I feel it comin', got a rush like I'm runnin' late

-

No longer lookin' for somethin'

-

You speak in dictionaries while fearing less than all will understand

Describing the partner's communication style as complex or difficult to understand.

Virgo moon, I'm so used to your dance

Referring to the partner's astrological sign, suggesting familiarity with their behavior.

Tongue too swole to comprehend

Acknowledging difficulty in understanding the partner's words due to emotional swelling.

I see you duck and dodge at every bend

Observing evasive behavior or avoidance in the partner's actions.

Afraid to play your card, be forced to show your hand

Expressing the hope that the partner will overcome fear and reveal their true self.

I hope you take from this that it'll make you no less of a man

Encouraging the partner not to feel diminished by vulnerability; it doesn't make them less of a man.

To break your walls and simply grab my hand

Encouraging the partner to break down emotional walls and connect intimately.

Love shouldn't be contraband

Affirming that love should not be restricted or forbidden.

It shouldn't trample on your confidence

Asserting that love should uplift confidence, not undermine it.

Shouldn't be seen as less than compliments

Stating that love should be viewed as complimentary, not as something inferior.
