  • I was just coastin'
    Never really goin' anywhere
    Caught up in a web I was gettin kinda used to stayin' there
    Then out of the blue
    I fell for you

    Now you're liftin' me up, instead of holdin' me down
    Stealin' my heart instead of stealin' my crown
    Untangled all the strings 'round my wings that were tied
    I didn't know him and I didn't know me
    Cloud nine was always out of reach
    Now I remember what it feels like to fly
    You give me butterflies

    Kiss full of color makes me wonder where you've always been
    I was hidin' in doubt 'til you brought me out of my chrysalis
    And I came out new
    All because of you

    And now you're liftin' me up instead of holdin' me down
    Stealin' my heart instead of stealin' my crown
    Untangled all the strings round my wings that were tied
    I didn't know him and I didn't know me
    Cloud nine was always out of reach
    Now I remember what it feels like to fly
    You give me butterflies, yeah
    You give me butterflies

    Now you're liftin' me up instead of holdin' me down
    You're takin' my hand instead of takin' my crown
    Untangled all the strings round my wings that were tied

    I didn't know him and I didn't know me
    Cloud nine was always out of reach
    Now I remember what it feels like to fly
    You give me butterflies
    You give me butterflies Writer/s: Kacey Musgraves, Luke Laird, Natalie Hemby
