| [Verse 1] | |
| Oh the wings the black butterfly don't answer when you speak to it | |
| We won't talk about what happened last night | |
| And the house on the corner burned down and now they can see inside | |
| We don't look too happy but I guess we'll make it alright | |
| [Chorus] | |
| The sun comes up, the sun goes down on the railroad tracks in the middle of town | |
| The space between us grows everyday | |
| Oh love comes up, loves goes down as we break our backs | |
| To the sound of the space that grows between us everyday | |
| [Verse 2] | |
| Oh the sting of the mother bee burns, but you can't help yourself | |
| You are drawn to it like a child to the fire | |
| And you wait to wear the crown and sit upon the throne | |
| You wanna be the one they want and adore | |
| [Chorus] | |
| [Bridge] | |
| Oh, but now, I see [x4] | |
| [Chorus] |
