Lyrics

We're sippin’ cocktails, lookin’ down upon the riot.
You whisper "baby, love the way you look tonight.
I wanna save you, save you, from the world outside."
I know it seems you're all I wanted and much more,
But then to tell the truth I've been through this before.
They say "I'll save you, save you", but they never do.

I think you know I want to believe you,
But in my heart I know that I'll leave you.
It's just so sad how instincts deceive you, or does it please you?

Everything you say,
Makes me wanna stay,
But everything you've done,
Makes me wanna run, run, run.

I've made the decision that I can't be with you,
Walkin' out the door but I already miss you.
Thinkin' about how I used to kiss you.
I'm gettin' butterflies, I'm gettin' butterflies!

I've made the decision that I'm too good for you,
Can't you see you're calling? It's hard to ignore you.
Try to be strong but babe, I adore you!
I'm gettin' butterflies, I'm gettin' butterflies!

We're back in high school, in the yard we used to fight,
But you would sneak in through my window every night.
I wanna take you, take you, to the world outside.

Well, I assumed it's what I wanted at the time,
(Oh, at the time)
But your eyes were like a constant warning sign.
(A warning sign)
I wanna take you, take you, and I didn't mind.

And even though I didn't believe you, (no)
You had a smile so easy to see through,
I know that there's a part of me, that always needs you.
Try to reach you, (what)? Try to please you.

Everything you say,
Makes me wanna stay,
But everything you've done,
Makes me wanna run, run, run.

I've made the decision that I can't be with you,
Walkin' out the door but I already miss you.
Thinkin' about how I used to kiss you.
I'm gettin' butterflies, I'm gettin' butterflies!

I've made the decision that I'm too good for you,
Can't you see you're calling? It's hard to ignore you.
Try to be strong but babe, I adore you!
I'm gettin' butterflies, I'm gettin' butterflies!

I know, I know, I know, we aren't good together.
I can't let go, I'm sure, that we should be forever.
I look around, there's no one above you,
I think you know that I'll always love you.
And baby I'm bad too, it's not just you,
But I can't wait forever to trust you.

Everything you say,
Makes me wanna stay,
But everything you've done,
Makes me wanna run, run, run.

I've made the decision that I can't be with you,
Walkin' out the door but I already miss you.
Thinkin' about how I used to kiss you.
I'm gettin' butterflies, I'm gettin' butterflies!

I've made the decision that I'm too good for you,
Can't you see you're calling? It's hard to ignore you.
Try to be strong but babe, I adore you!
I'm gettin' butterflies, I'm gettin' butterflies!
