Happiness Is a Butterfly Lyrics
[Intro]
Do you want me or do you not?
I heard one thing, now I’m hearing another
Dropped a pin to my parking spot
The bar was hot, it's 2 a.m., it feels like summer
[Verse 1]
Happiness is a butterfly
Try to catch it like every night
It escapes from my hands into moonlight
Everyday is a lullaby
I hum it on the phone, like every night
And sing it for my babies on the tour life
Ah-ah
[Pre-Chorus]
If he's a serial killer then what's the worst
That could happen to a girl, who's already hurt?
I'm already hurt
If he's as bad as they say, then I guess I'm cursed
Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt
He's already hurt
[Chorus]
I said, "Don't be a jerk, don't call me a taxi"
Sitting in your sweatshirt, crying in the backseat
Ooh, oh-oh
I just wanna dance with you
Hollywood and Vine, Black Rabbit in the alley
I just wanna hold you tight down the avenue
Ooh, oh-oh
I just wanna dance with you
I just wanna dance with you
[Post-Chorus]
Baby I just wanna dance with you
(Dance, with you, dance)
Baby I just wanna dance with you
(Dance, with you)
[Interlude]
Left the canyon, drove to the club
I was one thing, now I'm being another
Go down to Sunset in my truck
I'll pick you up if you're in town, I'm coming
Ah-ah
[Verse 2]
Happiness is a butterfly
We should catch it while dancing
I lose myself in the music, baby
Everyday is a lullaby
Try to catch it like lightning
I sing it into my music, I'm crazy
[Pre-Chorus]
If he's a serial killer then what's the worst
That could happen to a girl, who's already hurt?
I'm already hurt
If he's as bad as they say, then I guess I'm cursed
Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt
He's already hurt
[Chorus]
I said, "Don't be a jerk, don't call me a taxi"
Sitting in your sweatshirt, crying in the backseat
Ooh, oh-oh
I just wanna dance with you
Hollywood and Vine, Black Rabbit in the alley
I just wanna hold you tight down the avenue
Ooh, oh-oh
I just wanna dance with you
I just wanna dance with you
[Post-Chorus]
Baby I just wanna dance with you
(Dance, with you, dance)
Baby I just wanna dance with you
(Dance, with you)
[Outro]
With you
Do you want me or do you not?
I heard one thing, now I’m hearing another
Dropped a pin to my parking spot
The bar was hot, it's 2 a.m., it feels like summer
Happiness is a butterfly
Try to catch it like every night
It escapes from my hands into moonlight
Everyday is a lullaby
I hum it on the phone, like every night
And sing it for my babies on the tour life
Ah-ah
If he's a serial killer then what's the worst
That could happen to a girl, who's already hurt?
I'm already hurt
If he's as bad as they say, then I guess I'm cursed
Looking into his eyes, I think he's already hurt
He's already hurt
I said, "Don't be a jerk, don't call me a taxi"
Sitting in your sweatshirt, crying in the backseat
Ooh, oh-oh
I just wanna dance with you
Hollywood and Vine, Black Rabbit in the alley
I just wanna hold you tight down the avenue
Ooh, oh-oh
I just wanna dance with you
I just wanna dance with you
Baby I just wanna dance with you
(Dance, with you, dance)
Baby I just wanna dance with you
(Dance, with you)
Left the canyon, drove to the club
I was one thing, now I'm being another
Go down to Sunset in my truck

I just wanna dance with you
I just wanna dance with you
Baby I just wanna dance with you
(Dance, with you, dance)
Baby I just wanna dance with you
(Dance, with you)
With you

They are very toxic together and he is trying to be mature about it and seperate, but she doesn't want to give them up or be serious. She figures that they've already hurt eachother, so why not have fun and dance and try not to be serious. If they do hurt eachother, it doesn't really matter. Trying to control their relationship is like trying to catch a butterfly. A butterfly is beautiful, but if you catch it and try to keep it, you'll most likely damage its wings and cause it's death. These two being happy together is likely short lived and if they force it, will likely end in disaster
