With my Mama's mason jar
Caught a lovely butterfly

When I woke up today

I ain't ever comin' back
I didn't mean to do you harm
There it goes slips away
What I think I want, it slips away
I'm sorry for what I did
No more sighing in her breast

Every time I pin down
What I think I want, it slips away
I'm sorry for what I did
Caught a lovely butterfly
I guess you're as real as me
When I woke up today
Yesterday I went outside
When the robin makes his nest
If I'm a dog then you're a bitch
I can't wash away your scent
I'm sorry
I did what my body told me to
There it goes slips away
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Life of chasin' butterfly
Baby, I need fantasy
With my Mama's mason jar
Baby, I can live with that
She had withered all away
I told you I would return
Looked in on my fairy pet
I did what my body told me to
I didn't mean to do you harm
Smell you on my hands for days
Every time I pin down
