Butterflies
Jaret and Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had some fun persuading, please love me again
I thought I'd drive my car past because you didn't pick up
I created some good habits that I shouldn't stop
Somethings that I had happen woke me the fuck up
I never thought id see the man who had stood before me
Until you left me
Oooh, the butterflies
Oooh, I thought I'd never see you again
Oooh, and that's where it ends
You made me a better person
That's how I know that it was worth it
Now we're just two satellites drifting far apart
It was a somber moment, until I woke up
I knew that you were gone for good, but that's my luck
Flip the record over, there's another side to unfold
And that's when I was told
That we're just getting old
Oooh, the butterflies
Oooh, they kept me alive
Oooh, I thought I'd never see you again
Oooh, and that's where it ends
Please help me, I feel like I'm trapped inside my skin
And nobody can let themselves in
The butterflies
Yeah, woah
Oooh, the butterflies
Oooh, they kept me alive
Oooh, I thought I'd never see you again
Oooh, and that's where it ends
Oooh, oooh
All the butterflies, yeah
Oooh, the butterflies
Oooh, oooh
Yeah, yeah
The lyrics of "Butterflies" by Jaret and Kelly express a mix of regret, longing, and acceptance in a relationship. The opening lines suggest making questionable choices and staying out late, seeking approval and love from the other person despite the mistakes. The singer reveals a desire to reconnect with the person who didn't answer their phone call, possibly by driving past their house. They also acknowledge the need to maintain positive changes they have made.
The line "Somethings that I had happen woke me the fuck up" indicates a significant event that leads to a realization. It seems the singer never expected to see the person who left them again, hinting at the pain of their separation. The recurring motif of butterflies can symbolize both the elation and vulnerability experienced in love. The butterflies kept the singer feeling alive, showing the importance of the relationship to them.
While expressing gratitude for becoming a better person because of their past relationship, the singer also acknowledges that they have grown apart. They compare their current state to two drifting satellites, implying a sense of detachment or distance. However, there is a hint of hope present as they express the belief that the difficult moments were worth it.
In the bridge, the singer reveals a sense of being trapped inside their own emotions. They feel like no one understands them or can help ease their pain. The repetition of the line "Oooh, the butterflies" reinforces the significance of these emotions and the impact this relationship has had on their life.
Overall, "Butterflies" explores the complex emotions surrounding a past relationship, combining elements of regret, longing, acceptance, and introspection. The lyrics capture the intense feelings experienced in love, as well as the challenges and growth that can result from it.

Oh, oh
All the butterflies, yeah
All those intense feelings of excitement, yes
Yeah, yeah
