Remember when we use to share
The bachelorette just off St. Clair
Freshly out your mother's house
Never thought we'd make it out of there
We'd make it out of there
Laying on that futon bed
Dwelling on the words you said
As long as we're under a roof
I'd rather be right here with you instead
Right here with you instead
Oh, my, my, I saw five butterflies out the window
Bathing in light, like it's their first time alive
Dem five butterflies were dancing like wind chimes by our window
That light was pouring inside, and that's when I realized
Oh, girl, it won't be long
Oh, no, it won't be long
No, it won't be long
Oh, girl, it won't be long
The streetcar was our choice chauffeur
All on one time-based transfer
Up and down the avenue
In the aisle right next to you I swore
Right next to you I swore
We know how to play by ear
So give it just a couple years
These tracks might lead us round and round
Soon enough they'll take us out of here
And we'll make it out of here
Oh, my, my, I saw five butterflies out the window
Bathing in light, like it's their first time alive
Dem five butterflies were dancing like wind chimes by our window
That light was pouring inside, and that's when I realized
Oh, girl, it won't be long
If we, we start a family
They'll see, how far we've come
Then we, we can say finally
I know, it won't be long!
Oh, my, my, I saw five butterflies out the window
Bathing in light, like it's their first time alive
Dem five butterflies were dancing like wind chimes by our window
That light was pouring inside, and that's when I realized
Oh, girl, it won't be long
No, it won't be long
No, it won't be long
Oh, no, it won't be long
Oh, girl, it won't be long
