When I was younger
I thought I would die
Now I'm a little bit older
I still go out at night
Need someone to talk to
Hope I say something right
I go home alone
A social butterfly
I'm gonna come outta my coma
Gonna try to make things right
Stay out all night, tryin' to get a bite
Like a social butterfly
Now I'm just like a moth
Flyin' into the fire
And I fly by night
Lookin' for the nearest light
I saw you at the party
And we got in a fight
And now I miss you like
Yellow to the color blind
And I'm comin' outta my coma
I'm gonna come out tonight
Lookin' for a little reaction
I'm like a social butterfly
If I could do
What I wanna do with you
I'd crawl right back
Into my cocoon
You know I'm gonna come outta my coma
I'm gonna set the night on fire
I'll see you there
Don't be square
You're a social butterfly
Like a social butterfly
A social butterfly
