Antisocial caterpillar

Skirmish: Bugs (@atornberg)Liner Notes
For today's skrimish I dug out an old idea of mine and finished it. I had this concept for 6 years, believe it or not and decided to explore it, inspired by this prompt. I can't think of a fitting melody for the life of me, so if someone has an idea for a an instrumental hit me up!

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
For a while I missed the signs
When change was taking place
There is a reason that this season
You’ll find me with the plants
The more time passed the more pronounced
Uncertainty’s become
There is a reason I sit and listen
Inside of my cocoon
[Chorus]
I’m an antisocial caterpillar
And when it gets too much
I need some time to rebuild
My insides when they're mush
[Verse 2]
Now you know, my cover’s blown
I can’t go out alone
I'm counting seconds, ninety's my record
To call a ride back home
I don't dance, not a chance
I don't even have legs
But I feel the rhythm, nod a little
When I hear my favorite tune
[Chorus]
I’m an antisocial caterpillar
And when it gets too much
I need some time to rebuild
My insides when they're mush
[Bridge]
So once in a blue moon
When all the stars align
I fly high
And turn into a social butterfly
(Like a social butterfly)
[Verse 3]
It's a long, long process
Conditions apply
We can laugh about it then
When I let my wings expand
