Goosebumps and Butterflies – SXMRXXT Lyrics

Yeah… mm

Nervous energy in the room

Can you feel it?

Look

It's that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you’re standing at the edge

Looking down at everything you promised that you'd never pledge

I haven't felt this vulnerable since I was just a boy

Before the industry took my passion and turned it into a toy

My chest is tight, my hands are clammy, and the room is spinning round

I’m so used to the chaos that the quiet is a heavy sound

Is this love or is it panic? Man, I can't tell the difference

Spent so long bеhind my walls, building up my defense

But now you'rе looking at me with those open, honest eyes

Shedding light on all the places where I hid my compromise

And it's beautiful, it's terrifying, it's everything at once

I feel like a beginner who's been practicing for months

But forgot the steps the second that the curtains pulled apart

Just a man standing naked with a newly beating heart

And it's goosebumps and butterflies, tearing me open

Spilling out the words that I should’ve kept unspoken

I’m scared to death of what happens if I let you in

But I'm more scared of living in the skin I’ve been living in

Yeah, it's a terrifying high, a beautiful fright

Goosebumps and butterflies in the middle of the night

I'm used to writing tragedies where everybody leaves

Where the architect gets tangled in the web that he weaves

It's easy to be lonely, yeah, it’s comfortable to bleed

Because a broken heart don't have to worry about anyone else's need

But this? This is different. This requires me to stay

To not pack up my bags and run the other way

When the butterflies start kicking and the goosebumps start to rise

And I see a future looking back at me through your eyes

No filters on the lens, no distortion on the track

Just a raw, organic feeling that's refusing to go back

I'm stepping off the ledge, letting gravity do the rest

With a swarm of living things fluttering inside my chest

And what if I fail? What if I fall?

What if I ruin the best thing of all?

I'm so heavy with the past, will I drag you down to the floor?

But then you take my hand… and I don't worry anymore

The pulse settles down. The room breathes out

And it's goosebumps and butterflies, tearing me open

Spilling out the words that I should've kept unspoken

I'm scared to death of what happens if I let you in

But I'm more scared of living in the skin I've been living in

Yeah, it's a terrifying high, a beautiful fright

Goosebumps and butterflies in the middle of the night

In the middle of the night

Just skin and bone

No armor left

Just those butterflies
