Cover art for Sleeps With Butterflies lyrics by Tori Amos

Sounds like she's singing from the perspective of a woman who is in love with a man with committment problems- and she's diving in headfirst. Is there trouble ahead for you the acrobat? I won't push you unless you have a net

I think she's telling him she won't ask him for a stronger commitment- because he isn't comfortable without a safety net- an escape route.

Otherwise, lovely song. I Adore the piano and the harmonies. I love how she says "I believe I'm worth coming home to". Simple statement of self-worth. love it.
