[Verse 1]
Given the chance and I'd go
You pulling me in and I know
You know where to touch
The force in the rush, you really kidding, baby, all
I feel lifted off the floor
Call me then doubt what I saw
I was in the box, laying in the dust
But I wanted you more

[Pre-Chorus]
My fame, my pain
My soul you take
Boy, I'll keep on
You're my everything
My drink, my heart
It's black and dark
Reaper, in it for life

[Chorus]
But are we, but are we
Drowning butterflies?
Forever swimming in circles
But are we, but are we
Drowning butterflies?
Forever swimming in a line
[Verse 2]
Pain and lust is at the core
I try on a limb but I fall
Chasing romance and like more than once
Knowing you're gonna call
You all in my blood and you leave
Taking my heart from my sleeve
Leave me to rust, you're only dust
But I want you more

[Pre-Chorus]
You're my joy, my heart
It's black and dark
Reaper, in it for life

[Chorus]
But are we, but are we
Drowning butterflies?
Forever swimming in circles
But are we, but are we
Drowning butterflies?
Forever swimming in a line

[Post-Chorus]
We lost it all
Far away, far away
Just in love with it all
Thinking we'll all be safe
But are we, but are we
Drowning butterflies?
[Bridge]
I wanna get away, I'm gonna get away
And leave soon
I wanna run away, run away
I wanna run away
I'm gonna get away
And leave soon
And fly straight

[Chorus]
But are we, but are we
Drowning butterflies?
Forever swimming in circles
But are we, but are we
Drowning butterflies?
Forever swimming in a line

[Post-Chorus]
We lost it all
Far away, far away
Just in love with it all
Thinking we'll all be safe
But are we, but are we
Drowning butterflies?
