lyrics
we fell in love when we were young and dumb
and so overthrown
the night was young but we were feeling old
and so overgrown
the birds and bees they brought us to our knees
like some dizzy song
and even though we didn't know the words
we could hum along
we were caterpillars who didn't know
we could be butterflies
the things that mattered aren't the things
that matter to me anymore
I want to grab my stupid younger self
and pin him to the floor
are we living or just making livings
while the money goes?
caught between our shallow tv screens
in our own puppet show
are we constellations adrift in space
looking for shooting stars?
caterpillars who didn't know
we could be butterflies
and so overthrown
the night was young but we were feeling old
and so overgrown
the birds and bees they brought us to our knees
like some dizzy song
and even though we didn't know the words
we could hum along
we were caterpillars who didn't know
we could be butterflies
the things that mattered aren't the things
that matter to me anymore
I want to grab my stupid younger self
and pin him to the floor
are we living or just making livings
while the money goes?
caught between our shallow tv screens
in our own puppet show
are we constellations adrift in space
looking for shooting stars?
caterpillars who didn't know
we could be butterflies
