Butterfly In Reverse

Counting Crows

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
