Oh, when was I supposed to
00:01
Bow down with you? (Yeah)
00:07
When can I be faithful?
00:13
There's nothing in this fire
00:17
(Can we, can we just leave that last piano part a little bit)
00:21
(EarDrummers)
00:25
(Is there a lighter?)
00:28
Bow down with you
00:29
When can I be faithful?
00:35
There's nothing in this fire
00:39
Oh, when was I supposed to (get up, get up)
00:46
Bow down with you? (Bow down now, bow)
00:51
When can I be faithful? (Faithful, faithful)
00:57
If no one in this world, like you? (Like you, like you)
01:01
We're dead butterflies (butterflies, butterfliеs)
01:08
Laid out on a sprung floor
01:14
Waited for a long time
01:19
To pick us up and fly (fly, fly)
01:23
We'rе dead butterflies
01:30
I'm all in, let me know what you're thinkin'
01:31
Catch feels
01:34
Wind down while we figure this out, right now (right now, right now)
01:34
Deja que fluya pa' no perder el control
01:42
No queda de otra vamo' a ta' en lo mismo
01:45
Estoy dispuesta a darte todo el cariño (todo el cariño)
01:47
Two-steppin' while I move reckless
01:50
New sentence moves and news pendin'
01:53
Loose evidence and news trendin', effortlessly truth bendin'
01:55
Who's treacherous, searching for the feelings of a new friendship
01:58
There's but a few endings, everyone's a winner 'til you lose brethren
02:01
Old time when we use to owe time
02:04
Never take to Most High, them fuck up the old skyline
02:06
Bright lights, I hope that feeling can replenish
02:09
Regretful, 'cause if I let you left me then I'd be Russian rouletting
02:11
Got a whole full clip and pow
02:15
Catch me rippage now
02:16
But memories lift me up, but still a man's tears dripping down
02:18
Onto these photographs of what we used to be
02:21
But overtime the puddles turns into a sea
02:23
Hoping to myself you cry a stream
02:25
I was just surfing on your grief
02:26
The hurt I can't believe, just come to terms if it was me
02:28
But who are we?
02:31
These mirrors don't reflect perfection
02:32
Just put on your crep selection, come on two steps to Heaven with me
02:34
We're dead butterflies (butterflies, butterflies)
02:36
Laid out on a sprung floor
02:42
Waited for a long time
02:47
To pick us up and fly (fly, fly)
02:52
'Cause if it's not me then
02:58
Who's it gonna be, baby?
03:04
If it's not us (not us, not us)
03:09
There's nothing in this world for me
03:14
We're dead butterflies
03:20
Dancing on a sprung floor, now
03:26
Waited for a long time
03:31
To pick us up and fly (fly, fly)
03:36
When was I supposed to (get up, get up)
03:42
Bow down with you? (Bow down, bow down now)
03:48
When can I be faithful? (Faithful, faithful)
03:53
If no one in this world, like you? (Like you, like you)
03:58
We're dead butterflies (Butterflies, butterflies)
04:04
