	This is so about deciding if they should break up. She cant decide if this is happiness or if she can find it somewhere else. He is trying to convince her that happiness is never going to be somewhere else.

No Picture Cody Wanna Be	#2 by Cody Mann at Sep 27, 2007 at 11:41 PM EST
	YAH! ROCK ON JIMMY EAT WORLD!

Galen Wanna Be	#3 by Galen at Sep 28, 2007 at 1:17 AM EST
	The best JEW song. What do you think it's about? I believe that he's talking to a girlfriend who's dying of something. Outstanding song.

Dakota Lead Player	#4 by Dakota Sparks at Sep 30, 2007 at 4:16 AM EST
	"can you still feel the butterflies?" i think that line makes me think it's about a relationship that is going cold, but he really doesn't want it to end. i like EmbracingMediocrity's thing about "the first star i see, may not be a star". i agree there, that maybe it's about when you think you're in love, but you're not really. this song is one of those songs you can turn of the lights and just listen to quietly. it's so good. one of my favourite jimmy eat world songs.

Maverick Average	#5 by Maverick at Oct 1, 2007 at 10:15 AM EST
	"If I don't let myself be happy now then when, if not now when?" This line is one i'm using in a really imporant decision I have to make. IT's beautiful... I LOVE this song.. the first Jimmy one i ever heard. My older sis played it for me and whenever she played CD's i asked her to play the butterfly one... it's so beautiful. Clarity's an amasing CD. Bleed American... eh.

they call me to Average	#6 by they call me tommy K at Oct 2, 2007 at 7:03 PM EST
	This is my favorite song ever. EVER. It's absolutely beautiful and there are several interpretations which would make sense, but I find I relate to it the most is just thinking of it as a guy who is really worried about the girl he loves because he isn't sure if she still loves him, and he really wants to make sure that while they're together they are totally in love and that it is real and meaningful before it fades away... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next

cliff Average	#7 by cliff burton at Oct 2, 2007 at 10:01 PM EST
	I agree with whycantyoulearn, about the weird situations making you realize what the song is really about. And I agree with crossmyemostars! Geez! I agree with everyone! You all have such good views and can say it way better than I can!

james Wanna Be	#8 by james sartor at Oct 3, 2007 at 2:30 AM EST
	i love this song. it's so beautiful. the entire clarity album is truly amazing.

Cody Rhythm Player	#9 by Cody Stone at Oct 3, 2007 at 3:22 AM EST
	This song is so great, if you hear it live the way he sings it is really powerful/amazing/whatever. You just have to sing along with Can you still feel the butterflies/Can you still hear the last goodbye

Jesse Average	#10 by Jesse Neafsey at Oct 3, 2007 at 5:48 PM EST
	This is the song I've been looking for. I recently broke up w/a guy I thought I was in love with....and I am a big freak about lyrics... so I always try to find a specific song that I can write about in my diary and overanylize for every situation I am in. And this is the one, for the guy I thought I was in love with.

COBHC Average	#11 by COBHC at Oct 5, 2007 at 3:59 AM EST
	lol i just finished reading this silly ass interview with jim and zach, and they were joking around that this song was about how jim was making out with a girl at makeout central but her parents came home so it had to end....

pat Wanna Be	#12 by pat smear at Oct 5, 2007 at 7:55 PM EST
	The best JEW song on the best JEW album. What a masterpiece. You're left in love and you know that she's the right one anyway. And you can do everything you like except to be next to her. "...wherever you are, angel for me..."
