Yesterday I went outside
With my momma's mason jar
Caught a lovely butterfly

When I woke up today
Looked in on my fairy pet
She had withered all away

No more sighing in her breast

I'm sorry for what I did

I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want

It slips away
The ghost slips away


I smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
If I'm a dog then you're a (*##$

I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasies

A life of chasing butterfly

I'm sorry for what I did

I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Everytime I pin down what I think I want

It slips away
The ghost slips away


I told you I would return
When the robin makes his nest
But I ain't never coming back

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
