And as meteors dived and shot across the sky

I came back for my clothes when the sun finally rosе
And you were still passed out on thе floor
[Chorus]
Listen to me, Butterfly
There's only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
And it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass (Hm)
