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
