Lyrics
It was fate the way you looked at me
Perceives a sense of destiny in the way the person looked at the speaker
Through laser lights and drunk drag queens
Recalls a moment involving laser lights and intoxicated drag queens
Then we booked a date, somewhere 5-Star
Agreed to a date in a luxurious 5-star setting
And you drove me home in your black Jaguar
Reminisces about being driven home in the person's black Jaguar
But now you leave my texts on read
Expresses concern about unanswered text messages
Was it something that I said
Questions if something said caused the change in communication
Boy I keep on chasing butterflies
Expresses the ongoing pursuit of elusive happiness or love
First dates with movies, rooftop jacuzzis
Describes past first dates involving movies and rooftop jacuzzis
I know I always romanticize
Acknowledges a tendency to idealize or romanticize experiences
My knight in armour, that boy's a charmer
Describes the person as a charming knight in armor
Tell me do you feel the same inside
Inquires about the person's internal feelings
Until I know I'll keep on chasing butterflies
Expresses the commitment to keep pursuing happiness until certainty is achieved
Butterflies
Reiteration of the pursuit of happiness or love symbolized by butterflies
We did Friday nights, vodka on ice
Recalls shared Friday nights with vodka on ice
My eyes rolled back, your sex was paradise
Highlights a past intimate encounter with positive sensations
You had cold hard cash and damn good looks
Acknowledges the person's wealth and attractive appearance
But fairy tales are just for books
Underlines the realization that fairy tales are not reflective of reality
Now you'd rather stay at home
Notes the person's preference for staying home, potentially leading to loneliness
It's no fun being alone
Expresses dissatisfaction with solitude
Boy I keep on chasing butterflies
Reiterates the ongoing pursuit of happiness or love symbolized by butterflies
First dates with movies, rooftop jacuzzis
Recalls past first dates with specific romantic settings
I know I always romanticize
Acknowledges the tendency to idealize experiences
My knight in armour, that boy's a charmer
Reiterates the person's charming qualities
Tell me do you feel the same inside
Inquires about the person's internal feelings
Until I know I'll keep on chasing butterflies
Expresses the commitment to keep pursuing happiness until certainty is achieved
Butterflies
Reiteration of the pursuit of happiness or love symbolized by butterflies
My heart, it flies and flutters
Describes the speaker's heart as fluttering and questioning the person's suitability
And wonders babe if you're the right guy
Expresses uncertainty about whether the person is the right match
Is it in my head, in my mind
Questions if feelings are genuine or imagined
Maybe we're just ex-lovers star-crossed in the sky
Suggests the possibility of being former lovers with a fate intertwined in the stars
Boy I keep on chasing butterflies
Reiterates the ongoing pursuit of happiness or love symbolized by butterflies
Drinks on the water, champagne and lobster
Recalls experiences with drinks on the water, champagne, and lobster
I know I always romanticize
Acknowledges the tendency to idealize experiences
It's hot when you're here, whisper in my ear
Describes the appeal of the person's presence
Tell me do you feel the same inside
Inquires about the person's internal feelings
Until I know I'll keep on chasing butterflies
Expresses the commitment to keep pursuing happiness until certainty is achieved
Butterflies
Reiteration of the pursuit of happiness or love symbolized by butterflies
