I had nothing to say on Christmas day
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burnt your hair, and you knocked over chairs
I just tried to stay out of your way
But when you fell asleep with blood on your teeth
I just got in my car and drove away
Listen to me, butterfly
You know there's only so much wine
♪
Where the state highway starts, I stop my car
I get out to stare up at the stars
And as meteors died and shot across the sky
I just thought about your sad, shining eyes
When I went back for my clothes, when the sun finally rose
Oh, but you were still passed out on the lawn
Listen to me, butterfly
You know there's only so much wine
Listen to me, butterfly
You know there's only so much wine
