Sweet short sigh I'm satisfied

I'm in and out like ebbing tide

I know how this story goes

Fall like dead leaves when it blows

Puffy eyes and harmless lies

I just can't bear to compromise

Tears feel wetter lips kiss hard

Lost like pennies in the yard

We stayed in the bed and held on

If I could tie your legs around my backbone

Then I would carry the sensation

All other love is imitation

But my butterfly catcher is gonna let you go

Moldy bread and airtight dread

I can't unsay the things I said

I don't want to face your friends

Cut split ends to save our strands

We stayed in the bed and held on

If I could tie your legs around my backbone

Then I would carry the sensation

All other love is imitation

But my butterfly catcher is gonna let you

Get out while your spirit is strong

And your heart's whole enough to open your arms

And love large

I got to be patient

My body's violently vacant

My butterfly catcher is gonna let you go
