Firefly,
I never tried to take you very far,
'Cause when I tried to put you in a jar,
You lost your glow, oh no.
But firefly,
Now it's warming up again & you've come back,
And every single lightning strike's a sneak attack,
And you're burned in my heart.
Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you. (x2)
It was a young mistake,
To fall for something shiny even though it's fake,
Blinded like a flashback & the chance you take
When you're playing with fire.
So firefly,
Don't forget you're not the only light in the sky,
There's a time for darkness & a time to shine,
But now it's time to fly.
Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you. (x2)
And when you're caught, it's tough to free you,
And when you're dark, it's tough to see you
Because you never get too high off the ground.
But I'm learning to pursue you,
You might be bright, but I can see right through you,
To your heart & the light that you've found.
(horn solo)
Firefly,
I remember you from summers past,
But you always came & left so fast,
That I missed you before you could go.
But firefly,
Now I've captured you here in my song,
And just like dusk, you know it won't be long
Until you're burned in my heart.
Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you. (repeat to fade)
