Fireflies Lyrics

Fireflies lyrics

You looked like my mother

Did when she was 19, not afraid to die

I started plannin' our future

But you were just 19, still a firefly



You got terrible vision

You shoulda seen I was leavin' when I first appeared

I got bit by the footlights

I got caught in the headlights in any place but here



Never say you'll never leave

'Cause you'll never know 'til you try

In a jar fireflies

Only last for one night, only last for one night



Trains roll like gamblers in slow mo

Tryin' to find good luck when they couldn't find love

Oh yeah, and I'm gonna sleep on the train tracks

It's gonna be a peaceful night then it's gonna get rough



Never say you'll never leave

'Cause 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'

It must have been me, it must have been me



You looked like my mother

Did when she was 19, not afraid to die

For the last time I'm not your mother

And I was only 19, I'm still a firefly
