Butterflies

Wish I could be who I wanna be
I don't know who I wanna be yet
Control how they perceive me
I don't know who I wanna be yet
See what I wanna see
Search for another meaning
Control how people treat me
Make it my reality, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

But nothing these days is quite simple
Like when I was young and didn't think
That I'm just passing time
Can I stay here catching butterflies?
'Cause everything around me is constantly changing
And I am too, I'm so afraid that I'll just live and die
Can I stay here catching butterflies? (Butterflies)
Butterflies
Butterflies, butterflies
Butterflies, butterflies

I can feel my body shaking
Mind is ever-changing
Feel good 'til I'm aggravated
Never stay where I feel amazing
Wanna tear all the fucking pages
Settle into having patience
Rip the tape off from my cheeks and
Make my own reality, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

In the back of my mind, I picture me as a child
No outside infiltration, I was outside chasing
Birds and dreams, so outside of my reach
No internal frustration, I was outside chasing
In the back of my mind, I picture me as a child
No outside infiltration, I was outside chasing
Butterflies, butterflies
Butterflies, butterflies

Nothing these days is quite simple
Like when I was young and didn't think
That I'm just passing time
Can I stay here catching butterflies?
'Cause everything around me is constantly changing
And I am too, I'm so afraid that I'll just live and die (Butterflies)
Can I stay here catching butterflies? (Butterflies)
Butterflies
Butterflies, butterflies
Butterflies, butterflies

Don't stop, don't stop
Chasing
Don't stop, don't stop
Don't stop, don't stop
Chasing
Don't stop, don't stop
