Cover art for Social butterfly lyrics by Last Tuesday

Basically about someone who went and had sex before marriage, she went to a club and was attracted to a guy, they got drunk and drove home together.

Late last night 12:29 you were a social butterfly But tonight you feel the pain

  • Last night she was all chatty and all over the place, but now she is regretting what she did

The club was packed you didnt hold back Short skirt tight shirt to match And through the crowd you saw his eyes He had thoughts on his mind

  • The club was full of men, she didnt hold back from anything, she looked like an easy target for a man to get his hands all over "short skirt tight shirt to match" she found the perfect one, or thats what she thought anyway. He had thoughts on his mind involving having sex with her. At first it was lighthearted then after a few drinks they were riding home together.

Well tonight its 12:29 endless streams of tears you cry You waited on me by the telephone line 'cause you gave yourself away

24 hours later and she shows how upset she is, she waits for her friend by the telephone line (maybe a metaphor) cos she gave her virginity away

So now you sit there all alone silent by the telephone Your minds wondering your wondering and you can never be yourself again.

  • She is feeling lonely and her mind is racing though all kinds of different thoughts. She cant be herself anymore which was a virgin.

And all your friends would be proud of it But deep inside you cant get around it Last night you gave yourself away the sun didnt shine bright today

  • Her friends are proud that she has had sex for the first time, but she cant get around it because she has sinned within herself and against god and done what is wrong.

and you wish that you could get it back now full refund full exchange now But my friend please rest asure theres a hope of love despite of When you wish that you could get it back now full refund full exchange now But my friend please rest asure theres a hope that loves despite of the fact that

  • She wish she could get back her virgin stats like a refund full exchange. The writer is telling her though, despite this rest assured that god loves us despite what happens when we fall away from the rules of our religion.

Tomorrows a new day Well yea you gave yourself away So make a choice to change

Tomorrow is a new day to try to start again, he encourages her that although shes had sex once, she can stop having sex before marriage any more times
