From the album Instigator

lyrics

​​Saw you underneath a leaf
And that's when I decided to be a thief
I said honey you're a pretty cocoon
I just know you're gonna come out soon

You're a butterfly
And yes I know and I love you
You gotta let it show pretty butterfly
Won't you come out just for me ye-eh

You're a butterfly
You're beautiful but you did not know it
You're a butterfly
You need love but you never show it
You need a-warmth
You need a-love
You need a-nature to give you a shove
If you want to start living you gotta start flying
Spread your wings and fill the sky

You're a butterfly
And yes I know you're a butterfly
You gotta let it show pretty butterfly
Won't you come out just for me yeah
Oh won't you come out just for me
Now look at you

You're a butterfly
And yes I know and I love you
But it's time to go pretty butterfly
Well it's time for me to set you free ye-eh
Well it's time for me to set you free

One more thing before you go
Something I never let anyone know
I am lonely, so confused
But I never will forget the day I drifted there
As I passed along your way

​I saw you underneath a leaf
And that's when I decided to be a thief
I said honey you're a pretty cocoon
I just know you're gonna come out soon

You're a butterfly
Yes I know and I love you
But it's time to go pretty butterfly
Well it's time for me to set you free yeah
It's time for me to set you
Bye bye baby
