Had a flashback, lookin' outside
I can see us in the August light
I was dyin' for you to know why
I'm sick with these butterflies

I wish I had the guts to say, "I need you so desperately"
I wish I took a risk for once in my life

Do you wanna come by?
Don't be shy

So afraid to lay my heart on the table
As if I wouldn't survive
All my bravery and good intentions
Defeated by a butterfly
Oh-ooh...

Had a flashback, drivin' by
Your old school where we wasted time
You're sick and dyin' inside
I'm sick with these butterflies

I wish I had the guts to say, "I love you so desperately"
I wish I took a risk for once in my life

Do you wanna come by?
Don't be shy

So afraid to lay my heart on the table
As if I wouldn't survive
All my bravery and good intentions
Defeated by a butterfly
Oh-ooh...
Defeated by a butterfly

Don't be shy, don't be shy
Don't be shy, don't be shy

So afraid to lay my heart on the table
As if I wouldn't survive (Wouldn't survive)
All my bravery and good intentions
Defeated by a butterfly
Oh-ooh...
All my bravery and good intentions
Defeated by a butterfly
