And I love to tie you up
And you love to let me down
We both try to cover it up
With a sound
You ain't my buttercup
I ain't your little fool
I know that ain't a part of the deal
We're through
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
And I'd love to share the cost
Butterfly
The reason why we need to fly, high away
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
Before we're thrown back in the wheel!
Before we're thrown back in the wheel!
Baby, I'll be hard pressed
Maybe we're more simple too
Ain't a region of water!
Before we're thrown back in the wheel!
And you love to let me down

Before we're thrown back in the wheel!

I don't know much about flowers but I think buttercups are poisonous plants. This song seems to describe a hard relationship, but I can't understand much.
Shawn Smith in an interview stated that the words were just thrown in when he was jamming with Stone (while recording).
He added the chorus later after some thought but the main verse lyrics have no meaning which is why some of the words are mumbled (his words).
@Jaggeh Just realised it was me that posted the lyrics for this years ago.

This song came to mind when I was discussing Buddhism with a friend and the idea of attaining nirvana was essentially to escape the wheel of death and rebirth.

I thought maybe the wheel in the song related to the death/rebirth wheel. As in the singer had achieved bliss with a female (buttercup) but he knows it will end (death) and thus the suffering will begin again (rebirth).
