Sleeps with butterflies

This is getting ridiculous, I suppose. How many songs have I written about just today? But they just keep welling up inside of me. There'll be more to come, I think. And again, I don't need to explain to myself what this song means. I can still feel it.

airplanes take you away again
are you flying above where we live?
then I look up, a glare in my eyes
are you having regrets about last night?
I'm not, but I like rivers that
rush in, so then I dove in
is there trouble ahead
for you, the acrobat?
I won't push you
unless you have a net

you say the word, you know I will find you
or if you need some time, I don't mind
I don't hold on to the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
but I believe I'm worth coming home to
kiss away night
this girl only sleeps with butterflies

balloons look good from the ground
I fear, with pins and needles around
we might fall, then stumble
upon a carousel
it could take us anywhere

you say the word, you know I will find you
or if you need some time, I don't mind
I don't hold on to the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
but I believe I'm worth coming home to
kiss away night
this girl only sleeps with butterflies
