The butterflies that live inside me are not cliche
just a fringe benefit into this foray
I'm in awe as I stand before you, blue eyes
the paper moon makes you sparkle so bright
tied to my wrists are one thousand balloons
I'll float away to a place a bit closer to you
my hand's an invitation to yours on this quest
we'll stroll slowly through the plywood forest
I say it now, I've said it before
it's this classy, ravishing, dainty girl I adore
why she choose me in itself is pure bliss
I didn't know a story book girl could exist
just the other day a friend of mine
introduced me to a man called Mr. fate
he told me my book is written two ways
what happens, happens, but I must wait
I know I'd do my best to make her laugh for a while
I know I'd drive 800 miles just to see her smile
the gap between us is much bigger than distance
I can't help that my heart loves consistence
I say it now, I've said it before
it's this classy, ravishing, dainty girl I adore
why she choose me in itself is pure bliss
I didn't know a story book girl could exist
I'm playing games with numbers just to find out how I could be with you
it's not entirely unrealistic when I feel the way I do
Like all the stories that we read in school
forbidden love, for me is true
but it's too hard for me I've found
because I can't get the butterflies inside to calm down
just a fringe benefit into this foray
I'm in awe as I stand before you, blue eyes
the paper moon makes you sparkle so bright
tied to my wrists are one thousand balloons
I'll float away to a place a bit closer to you
my hand's an invitation to yours on this quest
