[Verse 1]
It's harder than it looks to move through water
First you've got to paddle like a pup
You see yourself, you're sure you're lamb to slaughter
So you take what was pure, and muck it up

[Chorus]
But I'll throw my hands up, and drag myself through
I'll kick my feet cause I have learned to
Crawl
It's really impressive, when I was just drowning
I'll crawl
It might as well be a Butterfly

[Verse 2]
I could hold my breath, and just stay under
But now there's rings of fire on the lake
Looking back from here I have to wonder
Just how much did I think I could take?

[Chorus]
But I'll throw my hands up, and drag myself through
I'll kick my feet cause I have learned to
Crawl
It's really impressive, when I was just drowning
I'll crawl
It might as well be a Butterfly
I'll crawl
It's really impressive, when I was just drowning
I'll crawl
It might as well be a Butterfly

[Bridge]
Hand over hand over hand
Hand over hand 'til I believe that I can stand

[Interlude]
I'll crawl

[Chorus]
I'll crawl
It's really impressive, when I was just drowning
I'll crawl
It might as well be a Butterfly
I'll crawl
It's really impressive, when I was just drowning
I'll crawl
It might as well be a Butterfly

[Outro]
I'll crawl...
