| Remember when we used to share |
| The bachelorette just off St. Clair |
| Freshly out your mother’s house |
| Never thought we’d make it out of there |
| We’d make it out of there |
| Laying on that futon bed |
| Dwelling on the words you said |
| As long as we’re under a roof |
| I’d rather be right here with you instead |
| Right here with you instead |
| Oh, my my, I saw five butterflies out the window |
| Bathin' in light |
| Like it’s their first time alive |
| Them five butterflies were dancin' like wind chimes by our window |
| That light was pourin' inside |
| And that’s when I realized |
| Oh girl, it won’t be long |
| Oh no, it won’t be long |
| No, it won’t be long |
| Oh girl, it won’t be long |
| Streetcar was our choice chauffeur |
| All on one time-based transfer |
| Up and down the avenue |
| In the aisle right next to you |
| I swore |
| Right next to you I swore |
| We know how to play by ear |
| So give it just a couple years |
| These tracks might lead us 'round and 'round |
| Soon enough they’ll take us out of here |
| And we’ll make it out of here |
| Oh, my my, I saw five butterflies |
| Out the window |
| Bathin' in light |
| Like it’s their first time alive |
| Them five butterflies were dancin' like windchimes |
| By our window |
| That light was pourin' inside |
| And that’s when I realized |
| Oh girl, it won’t be long |
| If we, we start a family |
| They’ll see, how far we’ve come |
| Then we, we can say finally |
| I know, it won’t be long |
| Oh my my, I saw five butterflies |
| Out the window |
| Bathin' in light |
| Like it’s their first time alive |
| Them five butterflies were dancin' like windchimes |
| By our window |
| That light was pourin' inside |
| And that’s when I realized |
| Oh girl it won’t be long |
| No, it won’t be long |
| No, it won’t be long |
| Oh no it won’t be long |
| Oh girl it won’t be long |
