Meg & Dia: Yellow Butterfly

She was just five years old,
A slightly moody day.
She couldn't stay away from that rivers edge, and I
I turned my back to count
All the daffodil seeds that surrounded
I closed my eyes, and then heard the water wake up...

And I
I can still hear that scream,
It's still lingering in the air, everywhere
Mother please save me
Grab my hand
I can't, I can't.

And I can still hear that face
Sink beneath the waves
Baby please, breathe for me, give me time, I am here
Where did you go?
Where'd you go? Where'd you go? Where'd you go?

Were the angels that lonely?
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else
Can everybody just lie to me?
She's home, she's home, crying for me now.

Every night, on a Monday
I will visit the same spot that I hate
Yes, the place that baby loved.
Now she can taste it, took her away.

It's been five years since then
And when it hits September
I feel like I'm dying again
Ian still won't even talk to me, talk to me.

Isn't this pain guilt enough?
I can't even look out the window
Without seeing reflections distorted in the sun.

And I
I can still hear that scream
It's still lingering in the air, everywhere
Mother please save me
Grab my hand,
I can't, I can't.

I can still see that face,
Sink beneath the waves
Baby please, breathe for me, give me time, I am here...
Where did you go? Where'd you go? Where'd you go?
Hey, where'd you go?

Were the angels that lonely?
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else
Can everybody just lie to me?
She's home, she's home, crying for me now.

Every night, on a Monday
I will visit the same spot that I hate
Yes, the place that baby loved
Now she can taste it, took her away.

And the pain hits me like a gunshot
I'm heading all the way to the floor,
Oh I hear her name and it kills me
I don't stop, I don't stop, I don't stop.

And I'm trying my best to hurt me,
Ian says it's never enough
A razor to the wrist for every unshed tear
Cough it up, drink it up, drink it up.

Were the angels that lonely?
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else
Can everybody just lie to me, lie to me?
She's home, she's home, crying for me now.

Every night, on a Monday
I will visit the same spot that I hate
Yes, the place that baby loved
Now she can taste it, it took her away.
Oh, it took her away,
Took her away.

So I had a coma, when I crashed my car in the lake.
I saw your face down there I knew, it was not a mistake.
So I went to the doctor
I told him, oh my heart will break,
If I couldn't see you,
He just gave me more pills.

But I saw you up there
Still floating by the river
God, you always loved that river,
I bet your heaven looks just like it.

Then I'll like it too,
Even though it scares me now...
But when I'm with you.
I'll be just fine, I'll be just fine.

We can sit, we can talk about, talk about...
Butterflies, butterflies, butterflies.
