[Verse 1]
I was dressed in black and in my sunday best
I said a few kind words and laid love to rest

[Pre-Chorus]
I believed that love was over
And there was no one left for me
But then you set your gaze upon me
And my heart, heart skipped a beat

[Chorus]
I had a funeral for the butterflies, I said my last goodbyes to love
But when you come around they come alive
The way you look at me's enough
I felt six feet down, you came around
Said "Baby, dry your eyes"
I had a funeral for the butterflies but they just came back to life

[Post-Chorus]
Back to life, back to life
Back to life, back to life

[Verse 2]
I haven’t felt that flutter in a century
I thought there'd be no other, I said a eulogy
[Pre-Chorus]
I was at the cemetery
You took the flowers from the grave
I felt something stirring in me
And then you said "It's not too late"

[Chorus]
I had a funeral for the butterflies, I said my last goodbyes to love
But when you come around they come alive
The way you look at me’s enough
I felt six feet down, you came around
Said "Baby, dry your eyes"
I had a funeral for the butterflies but they just came back to life

[Post-Chorus]
Back to life, back to life
Back to life, back to life
Back to life, back to life
Back to life, back to life

[Bridge]
My heart is racing and my palms are sweaty
Nervous as hell but I know I'm ready
I gave up on love, I was done with the waiting
But you made me feel alive
Yeah, you make me feel alive
[Chorus]
I had a funeral for the butterflies, I said my last goodbyes to love
But when you come around they come alive
The way you look at me's enough
I felt six feet down, you came around
Said "Baby, dry your eyes"
I had a funeral for the butterflies but they just came back to life

[Post-Chorus]
Back to life, back to life
Back to life, back to life
Back to life, back to life
Back to life, back to life
