I absolutely love this song. I find myself coming back to it over and over again. I'm not sure why exactly, but I will say the melody is enchanting as well as her singing. The first verse is absolutely brilliant as well. This is definitely a song I pull out only in certain moods, but when I'm in such a mood I can't get enough of this song. I have to say I don't even know what the mood is, maybe reflective not sure.
Tori Amos - Sleeps With Butterflies
Lyrics from LyricWiki
Airplanes
Take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live
Then I look up, a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you, the acrobat
I won't push you unless you have a net
You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I won't hold on to the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then, boy
Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere
You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I won't hold on to the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy
