Fireflies

Fireflies

Him:
you... looked my mother
did when she was nineteen
not afraid to die
I... started planning our future
when you were just nineteen
still a firefly

Her:
you...got terrible vision
should have seen I was leaving
when I first appeared
I...got bit by the footlights
I got caught in the headlights
in anyplace but here

Both:
never say
you'll never leave
cuz you never know till you try
in a jar
fireflies
only last for one night
only last for one night

Her:
Trains roll... like gamblers in slow mo
Tryin' to find good luck
When they couldn't find love

Him:
I'm... gonna sleep on the train tracks
It's gonna be peaceful
Then it's gonna get rough

Both:
Never say
You'll never leave
Cuz you'll never know til you try
In a jar
fireflies
Only last for one night
Only last for one night

I must have had a reason for leavin'
Not one I could see
I must have had a reason for leavin'
Must have been me
Must have been me...

Him:
You... looked just like my mother
Did when she was 19
Not afraid to die

Her:
For the last time... I'm not your mother
And I was only 19
I'm still a firefly
