Come out from the burning fire, butterfly
Let me lock you in my room and keep you for a while
Could you be the answer to my every prayer?
Could you be the one for whom I care?

Come into my arms and let your worries die
Come out from the web of all your tangled lies
But be true to me and I'll be true to you
Judge me not for what I've done but what I'll do

A million nights have led
To this one that we are spending
And I know it's better here
Than anywhere I've been going
Where every morning grew
A void more wide and endless

Come out from the burning fire, butterfly
Let me lock you in my room and keep you for a while
You watch over me and I'll watch over you
And if you go tomorrow, choke me 'til I'm blue

A thousand days have passed
In that house she and I were sharing
And I hate myself for it
But I've stopped caring
The Maryland sky tonight
Is black and blue and beautiful
