Well, I'm getting older and the nights are getting colder
And the more I sleep, the more I think
How easy it would be to disappear
Like you did from here

It's gonna be a long, quiet fall
Without the warmth and the din of it all
After the summer of black butterflies
The summer of heavy rains, silent days
Silent nights on my own
After I pushed you away
After I begged you to stay
After you pulled out the driveway

So don't be scared if I disappear
If I should fly away from here
Cause why should I stay to be on my own
When I only let me be all alone
Waited till 26 and I'm still here

See the colors in the sky
Watch all the blues and the greens as I
Watch the black butterflies spiral away
Watch as the storm clouds break for my gaze
Way up high, break for me to see the sky
To see the stars, to see the night

I think I might go to sleep or say goodbye
Think I could disappear, think I could run away
Think I should stay
What would they say, what would they think
How would they feel,I'm on the brink

Just go to sleep, just close my eyes
So I can lie back and watch all of the black butterflies drift away
Into the blues and the greens of the sky, oh
Black butterflies on my skin
Black butterflies, they're pulling me in
Butterflies on the sun, I'm thinking it's time for me to run
Run away, fly so high
I think it's time to disappear
I can close my eyes and go to sleep
Black butterflies pulling me too deep
