i think this song is about having to let somebody go & explore themselves before being able to be with them. i think the "kiss away night" part simply just means that instead of night accompanying her to sleep everynight, it's butterflies. to say that she only sleeps with butterflies, to me, means that she is ok with this man going off on his own for a little while- she is ok with letting him go ("if you need some time i don't mind, don't hold onto the tail of your kite") ... it's like saying "yeah ok, go on and go, i only allow myself to be with butterflies anyway so go on and be one." lol very simple and broken down terms but that's what i think she means.
airplanes take you away again
are you flying above where we live
then i look up, a glare in my eyes
are you having regrets about last night
i'm not, but i like rivers that
rush in so then i dove in
is there trouble ahead for you, the acrobat
i won't push you, unless you have a net
you say the word you know i will find you
or if you need some time i don't mind
i don't hold onto the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
kiss away night
this girl only sleeps with butterflies
with butterflies
so go on and fly then, boy
balloons look good from on the ground
i fear with pins and needles around
we may fall then stumble upon a carousel
it could take us anywhere
you say the word you know i will find you
or if you need some time i don't mind
i don't hold onto the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
kiss her, waiting by this girl
this girl
you say the word you know i will find you
or if you need some time i don't mind
i don't hold onto the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
kiss away night
this girl only sleeps with butterflies
with butterflies
with butterflies
so go on and fly boy
