It happened again last night
It happened again all right
Honey it makes me want to cry
Too late I fell out of bed
hit the ceiling instead
I'd turned into a butterfly

God didn't spend much time
This was a hit and run
Clearly the wings were oversized
In all, well nothing was right
still it was quite a sight
I'd turned into a butterfly

But the last time I looked in the mirror
it looked like I was going to be fine
And the last time I looked in the mirror
it looked like I was going to be fine

Baby I don't know why
I was the average guy
And I was almost satisfied
to be just one in the crowd
Not too tall or too loud
I turned into a butterfly

Tired but always clean
staying away from dreams
So I like sleepless by your side most nights
A twitch in my back
gently life would attack
I'd turned into a butterfly

But the last time I looked in the mirror
it looked like I was going to be fine
And the last time I looked in the mirror
it looked like I was going to be fine

Once past the drowning panic
and the longing to fly
whatever I see in the mirror
I'm sure it's going to be fine
