Alfie Deverell & Luke Pemberton - Butterflies Lyrics

She puts butterflies in my belly
More than in a butterfly sanctuary
The days flutter by in the blink of an eye
Anecdotal walks along the seaside
A poet, a wordsmith, a model, an artist
The hard bit is you don't know where her heart is
She's a diamond but priceless
A gem held within
Find yourself a treasure chest in her skin
That summer was a blur for him
Each day quicker than the last
But it still seemed endless
It felt that way because he was waiting
Every minute, with every fibre of his being
Waiting for something that he couldn't even be sure would ever happen
Waiting for someone
He spent that summer - the time he didn't spend waiting for her - with his friends
Present, but absent
He could only think of that September
And how close, yet how far, it still was
And they went slow dancing in the night
In the night
Like wildfires in the summer
And they went slow dancing in the night
In the night
Like wildfires in the summer
Like wildfires in the summer
