Butterflies
Sammi Sanchez Lyrics

Butterflies
So I told you from the day we met
that all I'd need is you
but there's something here that you just don't get
cause with all the things you do.

Whoa oh...

Sometimes I wonder if you can see
the things that mean the most to me
and I tried to tell you from the heart
so where do I star?

It's all about, walking me home in the pouring rain
and the kiss that we shared that got me calling
your name, and the feeling inside don't lie
but It's all about the butterflies.

When you shower me with all these things
I don't know what to say
cause I really do appreciate
but you know It's not the way.

Whoa oh...

Sometimes I wonder if you can see
the things that mean the most to me
and I tried to tell you from the heart
so where do I star?

It's all about, walking me home in the pouring rain
and the kiss that we shared that got me calling
your name, and the feeling inside don't lie
but It's all about the butterflies.

Everyday and every hour
chase me down like a flower
follow them into my heart
and maybe you'll see...

It's all about, walking me home in the pouring rain
and the kiss that we shared that got me calling

your name, and the feeling inside don't lie
but It's all about the butterflies.

Overall Meaning

The song "Butterflies" by Sammi Sanchez is essentially about someone who is showering the singer with gifts and attention, but is missing the most important things. The singer explains that they had told their significant other from the very beginning that all they needed was them, but somehow they didn't seem to understand what that meant. The singer's frustration is evident in the lyrics, as she wonders whether the other person even sees what truly matters to her.

The key element that the other person is missing is the "butterflies" that come from truly meaningful moments in a relationship. In the pouring rain or sharing a special kiss, the singer's heart races and she feels truly connected to her partner. But all the material possessions in the world cannot replicate this feeling. The singer appreciates the gestures, but she wants her partner to see that they are not what she needs.

This song explores an important aspect of any relationship, which is the difference between material possession and emotional connection. It also highlights the importance of understanding what truly matters to your partner in order to make the relationship work.
