distant butterflies, scattered butterflies

Sleepless nights
I'm running wild
I read my rights
My perceptions filed

Counting names
Setting fires
Set me off
Now, you're the liar

I look into someone's eyes just to hide from my lies

Another stranger an hour
Darling, need me with all your power
Dancing in the dark but there's no spark, no
Distant butterflies and they just keep eating up my lies
Scattered butterflies once they hear me say goodbye

Auburn green, perfect smile
Grab into me while I count the miles
To know how much time I have till I see your face again

Late night texts, grin is plastered
This is new, I wonder what's next in our happy ever after
Until I hear you say their name

I look into someone's eyes just to hide from my lies

Another stranger an hour
Close my eyes, picture you in front of me
This is all I ever need
Dancing in the rain but every droplet reminds me of the pain
Distant butterflies; I want to believe my lies
Scattered butterflies never heard me say goodbye

Oh everyday I got someone new that I dread
But you just stay in my pretty little mess-filled head
And it's the first time I've cried
Find I'm doing it every night
Everyday I got someone new that I dread
But you just stay in my pretty little mess-filled head
And it's the first time I've cared
You're the only one I've spared
With your pretty green, pretty smile, pretty you is worth my while

I looked into someone's eyes just to hide from my lies

No more strangers an hour
Love, I think this is ours
Darling, I hope this is forever; my files severed
Yeah, we're dancing in the moonlight
I could do this every night
Distant butterflies are all crowded in one tiny space
Scattered butterflies are nowhere on our pillowcase

Sleepless nights
I'm running wild
I look at you
My old habits filed
