[Verse 1]
Tiny paper wings
Chasing summer steam
Soft on the flowers
Like a slow-motion dream
Sugar in the sunlight
Sticky on the air
You dip your little straw
Like you do not care
[Chorus]
Butterfly nectar
Sweet in the weather
Sipping at the sugar water
Staying here forever
Rotting fruit on the ground
You taste every flavor you found
Butterfly nectar
We’re drinking the weather down
[Verse 2]
Muddy little puddle
You circle like a ring
Boys at the bar
Doing that mineral thing (oh yeah)
Tree bark bleeding amber
Pollen on your face
Leaves for the babies
Every vein a secret place
[Chorus]
Butterfly nectar
Sweet in the weather
Sipping at the sugar water
Staying here forever
Rotting fruit on the ground
You taste every flavor you found
Butterfly nectar
We’re drinking the weather down
