lyrics

I wrote this song for my wife
As a promise to die for her daily.

I wont cry if you leave me tonight,
But I promise I'll drive if you'll let me.

I wrote this song for my wife
But I jump, jump, jumped the gun
And I gave it to you

Did you ever stop to think about
What happens when those butterflies
Flap their wings for the last time? THEY DIE! THEY DIE!
Did MTV never teach you that?
And when they fall, they'll decompose
To fertilize the seed deep inside your heart.
And from that seed, a tree will grow,
And guess what baby? The wind still blows!
But we have roots to face the storm, so don't be worried.
O' how you thought such temporary creatures
Would be the cornerstone of your love life. GROW UP! GROW UP!

But I've ruined this song for my wife,
Was I just not what you were expecting?
