Butterfly in Reverse lyrics

Mary-Ann

You’re better than the world

They took a lot of time

Getting it right on this girl

I said, Mary-Ann

You’re better than the world

They did a lot of things right on this girl

Had a lot of girlfriends

I should have known them

Click your heels and count back from three

Do you want to go back?

You should have known

That the butterfly in reverse here is me

Mary-Ann

You’re better than the world

They took a lot of time

Getting it right on this girl

I said, Mary-Ann

You’re better than the world

They did a lot of things right on this girl

Where’d you want to go to

With nothing beside you

But webbing and curfews and rain?

And everything that hurts you

Is locked up inside you

Like butterflies with wings

And other perfect things

We go swimming in the sunshine

Dangling from clotheslines

Separate and fall into me

But did you ever see me ?

Me, absolutely ?

Me, but all you, but still me?

Mary-Ann you’re better than the world

They took a lot of time

Getting it right on this girl, I said

Maryann

You’re better than the world

They did a lot of things right on this girl
