Seven days is all it took, this time
Look at me; do I seem the least bit surprised
I taught you how to spread your wings
I taught you how to drive
Didin't think you'd get so many miles

And I see
Life with my butterfly and me

Look me in the eye, just one time
Humor me, humor me once in a while
Always looking behind me
For a more important time
Someone you can sling your resume to

And I see
Life with my butterfly and me

This is, this is not about you and me
That ship boat, this ship is lost at sea
Just a morbid curiosity
About my butterfly and me

Seven days is all it took, this time
Now you're asking me
What's going through my mind
The b-lines you paved
And the hands you waved
This should come as no surprise

And I see
Life with my butterfly and me
