Ovoids

Song written with the help of the ashjuice.music instagram friends! All of these nostalgic experiences were suggested to me by them. 
This is a pretty rough demo recording not intended to be a polished/mastered track <3

Lyrics:

Still got our picture in their frame 
Just kids on Christmas morning 
Mac and cheese on our face

Do you remember the smell of us
Of lavenders and dust
 a radio that never played

all I saw was home then, back then
all I did was close my eyes 

Fly fly, butterfly
I don’t wanna see you go
Take all her lullabies 
and the flowers we used to grow
Take me to the times 
Where I knew nothing at all
Bye bye butterfly 
I’m so scared of letting go 

Was it the last time we’ll ever talk?
Watching the sun set from your rooftop 
Singing our favourite song

We thought distance couldn’t touch this 
That home is where the heart is
But we all know now that couldn’t be more wrong

Fly fly butterfly
I don’t wanna see you go
saw through all the lies 
when we thought that this was home
Take me to the times 
Where we knew nothing at all
Bye bye, butterfly
So scared of letting go

Old swing sets and cinnamon buns 
Falling asleep in the back of the car
Don’t wanna wake up if it brings me back to you

Backyard stones and barefoot walks 
city stars and late night calls
I say these words the same way she used to do
I say these words the same way she used to do 

Bye, bye, butterfly
I’m so sad to see you go
Don’t want to open my eyes
But that’s the only way we’ll grow
Thank you for the times
Where I knew nothing at all
You’ll take to the sky
And I’ll learn to let you go

Bye Bye Butterfly

Made, a wrong turn lost my way
Lost myself, where, I don't want to stay
Made, bad decisions for awhile 
Got turned around, by the tears of a crocodile 
One less mistake would, put me back on track
I'm a heart attack, away from being in the ground

So much that we wanted was out of reach
And they wanted to tell a lie
that's what they'd preach

Find the least worst way to go
It might be wrong but maybe just a little less so
After I've fallen down, I get back up 
I never learn that enough is enough

So much that we wanted was out of reach
And they wanted to tell a lie
that's what they'd preach
You were never much of a go getter
Yeah that's what they said
Now it's going from Bad to Better 
but it's in my head (you can never go back)

Half measures are better than none. 
Half step closer to getting it done. 
Not exactly to the letter 
but moved it from bad to better


Special thanks to LOHM for some production help.

Bye Bye Butterfly
