Drew Hawkins - butterflies Lyrics

Only coming 'round you when it's sweet
I'm too weak to pick up your pieces
Flutter in the air like a leaf
At least I enter with the grace that I leave with
A wise man once said to me
You can't catch a butterfly with a closed fist
Open your palms and set us free
Or leave me here forever if you had some
Butterflies in your stomach when you saw my face
I could stay right there forever but this book got the same pages
Fate's been goin' down smooth after some chasers
Pull back up to campus, now we're waking up the neighbors
Oh my God
It feels like I never catch a break here
Right back to my room I tell my brother roll the papers
Exhaling vapor, day after day
Try to metamorphisize but buildin' the cocoon seems like a waste
When I was happier before I put the walls up
Found myself at college had to first become a pupil
That chrystal isn't something to pray to, it's just a rock, love
Feelings all eroded, I promise I ain't your rock, love
Don't believe in much but astrology that's for sure
Stubborn Aries, son I'm the goat
Y'all hear fire and catching fades
I been going through my phases
But holdin' you ain't the same
I let it go
All in hopes you'd come back to me with some changes
Only coming 'round me when it's sweet
You're too weak to pick up my pieces
Flutter in the air like a leaf
At least you enter with the grace that you leave with
A wise man once said to me
You can't catch a butterfly with a closed fist
Open my palms and set us free
