Butterflies
Skrillex Starrah & Four Tet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody loves somebody
I know you're not just anybody
Butterflies when you touch my body
Electric love, baby, shock me, shock me

Been here before
Lit like the fourth
When you hit my door
No fallin' short
Tease it
Please it
Squeeze it
Flip 180 degrees it

'Cause everybody loves somebody
But I know you're not just anybody
Butterflies when you touch my body
Electric love, baby, shock me, shock me

Lips on my lips
Hands on grip
You know you want this, mhmm
Oh, you want this, yeah
Tease it
Please it
Squeeze it
Keep it, keep it, keep it

'Cause everybody loves somebody
But I know you're not just anybody
Butterflies when you touch my body
Electric love, baby, shock me, shock me

Everybody loves somebody
I know you're not just anybody




Butterflies when you touch my body
Electric love, baby, shock me, shock me

I've been a big fan of skrillex since I was a teenager and those days I was in love with his stuff like " scary monsters orchestral version " " summit from bangarang " and so many of his songs as well , even older songs like " emily " and " signal or mora " when he was known as sonny john moore

Bottom line is I love skrillex and his ideas and songs

He's unique and perfect man
