[Verse 1]
Have you ever really loved someone?
I can say, I can say I've loved
Have you ever been loved?
Can you say you really trust me, huh?
You put away, lock away my love
Baby, that's not trust
Call it company, call it what you want
I consider it a hostage plea
If you love me then let me go
Keep me locked and keyed like you're afraid I'll run
If it's chains you need, then maybe you should let me go
[Chorus]
Keep me in the butterfly garden
I'll sing you lullabies, oh
Swing, swing, one summer night darling
I'll fly us home
Keep me in the butterfly garden
I'll fly us home
Keep me, keep me
Don't let me go
[Verse 2]
Couple bottles and you're clear like glass
So tell me straight, why did you lay this trap?
Now it's all you have, mmm
Were you afraid I'd see behind your masks?
If I was sane, I woulda left way back
Now it's all I have
Maybe you pull the strings, or it's folie a deux
But what's strange to me
These things you've done, I've done them too
So if I leave, break wings and move
You'll be chasing me
But I'll find my way right back to you
[Chorus]
Keep me in the butterfly garden
I'll sing you lullabies, oh
Swing, swing, one summer night darling
I'll fly us home
Keep me in the butterfly garden
I'll fly us home
Keep me, keep me
Don't let me go
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Keep me in the butterfly garden
I'll sing you lullabies, oh
Swing, swing, one summer night darling
I'll fly us home
Keep me in the butterfly garden
I'll fly us home
Keep me, keep me
Don't let me go

One of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. Like I’ve said before, I hate explaining the meanings of my songs because I don’t want to take away the sentiment that someone else might take away from it. So I’ll just say, this song is about the desperate, sad and lonely aspect of being in love. Maybe w...
