|
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 |
|
There's only so much wine |
|
That you can drink one life, |
|
but it will never be enough, |
|
To save you from the bottom of your glass |
|
Where the state highway starts, I stop my car |
|
I get out, to stare up at the stars |
|
And as meteors die |
|
And shout across the sky |
|
I just stop about your setting shining eyes |
|
And I went back for my clothes, when the sun finally rose |
|
Oh,You were still passed out on the floor |
|
Listen to me, butterfly |
|
There's only so much wine |
|
That you can drink one life, |
|
but it will never be enough, |
|
To save you from the bottom of your glass |
