Lyrics
Ironed my shirt, then ironed it twice Practised my hello in the mirror Can't sit still, can't count the sheep The big day is coming nearer My heart is tapping on the glass Tapping, tapping, let it in Butterflies, butterflies Dancing in my chest tonight Scared and glad, scared and glad Everything is almost right Butterflies, butterflies Tomorrow's got my name on it Scared and glad, scared and glad And I'm ready, I think I'm ready for it Rode the night bus to the end Just to feel the wheels go humming Every window shows a light Every light says something's coming My heart is tapping on the glass Tapping, tapping, let it in Butterflies, butterflies Dancing in my chest tonight Scared and glad, scared and glad Everything is almost right Butterflies, butterflies Tomorrow's got my name on it Scared and glad, scared and glad And I'm ready, I think I'm ready for it Breathe in slow, breathe out slow Nervous is just excited in disguise Breathe in slow, breathe out slow Watch the sun come up behind my eyes Butterflies, butterflies Dancing in my chest tonight Scared and glad, scared and glad Everything is almost right Butterflies, butterflies Tomorrow's got my name on it Scared and glad, scared and glad And I'm ready, I think I'm ready for it Scared and glad Ready for it
