Jack, Amanda Palmer - So Much Wine lyrics
[Jack, Amanda Palmer - So Much Wine lyrics]
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burnt your hair, knocked over chairs
I just tried to stay out of your way
But when you fell asleep
With blood on your teeth
I got in my car and drove away
Listen to me, Butterfly
There's only so much wine
You can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
Where the state highway starts
I parked my car
I got out and stared up at the stars
As meteors dived and shot across the sky
I thought about your sad, shining eyes
I came back for my clothes
When the sun finally rose
But, you were still passed out on the floor
Listen to me, Butterfly
There's only so much wine
You can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
It was one or two o'clock
When I finally got up
My head hurt and I saw that you had gone
And on the fridge
I saw the note that you'd taped up for me
You wrote that you hoped that I'd have
The nerve to change my luck
I could have swore we'd cleaned it out
But when I looked hard enough I found
A beer we'd missed behind the
Cake your mother had brought
Listen to me, Butterfly
There's only so much wine
You can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
