Butterflies
Shwayze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you see me in my video,
And now your trying to play me like a stereo
You got me blowin up your phone
You givin me butterflies, butterflies again
You givin me butterflies, butterflies again
Something about your lovin caught me by surprise
Sweeter than an M&M
Remember when you took me swimming
In your summer house in the sands
Was in the air we were both 16 then
But you looked 23 sick in the one piece
Dumb me had to take it to the friends? zone
Up, up all night talking on the phone
If I never told you then you didn?t know
As you never really know till its really gone
Really down on the full-ride scholarship
Kill me now on the bus down Hollywood
Writing songs about you and how I wish I could
And you were here right now then you knew I would
Playing shows so we?re blowing up the dope
Catch myself talking about you every now and then
Last out Philly, pulled up to the DLA
Turned around and I saw your face
You givin me butterflies, butterflies again
You givin me butterflies, butterflies again
Something about your lovin caught me by surprise
Oh yeah, you givin me butterflies, butterflies, butterflies again
Chilling out by the pool on a summer day
Still reminding me of you in some sort of way
'Cause you?re cooler than a tall glass of lemonade
And your hotter than the sunshine, baby, when you shine for me
Don?t you ever say I settle for less
I would never have sex if it would give you a bad rep
Give me a kiss on the cheek
And I won?t wash it off till I see you next week
Because I?m love stoned that?s what your doin to me
If you must know, I see you in my dreams
And my hunchback got my head on my knees
Baby please tell me is this make believe
Or is it real life? What?s the difference?
I know it can all change in an instant
For instance when you made your entrance
You changed me now its all we did
You givin me butterflies, butterflies again
You givin me butterflies, butterflies again
Something about your lovin caught me by surprise
Oh yeah, you givin me butterflies, butterflies, butterflies again
I know you hear me on the radio,
And you see me in my video,
And now your trying to play me like a stereo
You got me blowin up your phone
But you sill won?t answer it
You smoke your cancer stick
Sit around, think about the things we did
Wishin we were kids
Chasin those butterflies, butterflies again
Chasin those butterflies, butterflies again
You givin me butterflies, butterflies again
You givin me butterflies, butterflies again
Something about your lovin caught me by surprise
Oh yeah, you givin me butterflies, butterflies, butterflies again
You givin me butterflies, butterflies again...
The opening lines of Shwayze's song ''Butterflies'' suggest that the singer has a strong sense of himself as an artist, with his music playing on the radio, and being watched on video by his fans. The lyrics suggest that the singer has a sense of being played by someone else, perhaps feeling manipulated or taken advantage of, but still wanting to pursue the relationship. The song then moves into a nostalgic memory of the singer's past, with the person who is giving him butterflies, suggesting that they had a connection from the past that is reigniting. The lyrics are romantic and convey a sense of longing for the past, and a desire to rekindle the relationship with someone who is giving the singer butterflies.
Throughout the song, there is a sense that the singer is struggling with a desire to be close to the person who is giving him butterflies, but also feeling uncertain or unsure about the relationship. He compares the person's attraction to him to a stereo, suggesting that they are only interested in what he can give them, rather than in who he is as a person. However, even with these doubts and concerns, the singer becomes more and more enamored with the person, comparing them to sweet treats like M&Ms and lemonade. The song ends on a wistful note, with the singer reflecting on the things that they used to do together and wondering what might have been.

I know you hear me on the radio,
I'm famous, everyone knows who I am
And you see me in my video,
You've watched my music videos
And now your trying to play me like a stereo
You're trying to use me for your own enjoyment
You got me blowin up your phone
You keep calling me and texting me
You givin me butterflies, butterflies again
I'm feeling nervous and excited around you like I did before
Something about your lovin caught me by surprise
I didn't expect to fall in love with you
Sweeter than an M&M
You're really sweet and enjoyable
Remember when you took me swimming
I have fond memories of us doing things together
In your summer house in the sands
We spent time together at your beach house
Was in the air we were both 16 then
We were both young and in love
But you looked 23 sick in the one piece
You looked really attractive in your swimsuit
Dumb me had to take it to the friends? zone
I regret not making a move on you back then
Up, up all night talking on the phone
We used to talk on the phone for hours
If I never told you then you didn?t know
If I never said it, you wouldn't know how I feel
As you never really know till its really gone
You only realize how much you care when it's too late
Really down on the full-ride scholarship
I was really upset about my scholarship
Kill me now on the bus down Hollywood
I'm really upset right now
Writing songs about you and how I wish I could
I write songs about you because I wish we could be together
And you were here right now then you knew I would
If you were here right now, you'd know how much I care
Playing shows so we?re blowing up the dope
We're performing our music and becoming more popular
Catch myself talking about you every now and then
I still think about you and talk about you sometimes
Last out Philly, pulled up to the DLA
We recently played a show in Philly
Turned around and I saw your face
I saw you and it made me really happy
Chilling out by the pool on a summer day
I'm relaxing and enjoying the nice weather
Still reminding me of you in some sort of way
I still think of you when I'm relaxing like this
Don?t you ever say I settle for less
I'm not going to lower my standards for you
I would never have sex if it would give you a bad rep
I won't do anything that would make you look bad
Give me a kiss on the cheek
Kiss me on the cheek
And I won?t wash it off till I see you next week
I won't wash my face until I see you again
Because I?m love stoned that?s what your doin to me
I'm in love with you and you're making me feel this way
If you must know, I see you in my dreams
I dream about you sometimes
And my hunchback got my head on my knees
I'm sad and feeling down
Baby please tell me is this make believe
Is our love real?
Or is it real life? What?s the difference?
What's the difference between love and reality?
I know it can all change in an instant
I know things can change suddenly
For instance when you made your entrance
When you came into my life
You changed me now its all we did
You've changed my life and now everything revolves around you
But you sill won?t answer it
You still won't answer my phone calls
You smoke your cancer stick
You smoke cigarettes, even though they're bad for you
Sit around, think about the things we did
I think about the things we used to do together
Wishin we were kids
I wish we could go back to when we were younger and everything was simpler
Chasin those butterflies, butterflies again
I want to feel the way I did when I was younger and in love

Playing shows so we're blowing up a lil bit
Catch myself talking about you every now and then
Last out Philly, pulled up to the TLA

Give me a kiss on the cheek
And I won't wash it off 'til I see you next week

If you must know, I see you in my dreams
I'm a hunchback, got me head over knees

Or is it real life? What's the difference?
I know it can all change in an instant
For instance, when you made your entrance

You're givin' me butterflies, butterflies again
You're givin' me butterflies, butterflies again
Something about your lovin' caught me by surprise
Oh yeah, you're givin' me butterflies, butterflies, butterflies again
You're givin' me butterflies, butterflies again...
