Verse 1

I had nothing to say on Christmas day

When you threw all your clothes in the snow

When you knocked over chairs and burnt you hair

I just tried to stay out of your way

When you fell asleep with blood on your teeth

I got in my car and drove away

Chorus

Listen to me butterfly

There's only so much wine

You can drink in one life

And it will never be enough

To save you from the bottom of your glass

Verse 2

Where the state highway starts I stopped my car

I got out and stared up at the stars

As meteors died and shot across the sky

I thought of your sad shining eyes

When the sun finally rose I went back for my clothes

But you were still passed out on the floor

Chorus

Listen to me butterfly

There's only so much wine

You can drink in one life

And it will never be enough

To save you from the bottom of your glass
