Fireflies

Fireflies - Rhett Miller

Written by：Rhett Miller

You looked like my mother

Did when she was 19 not afraid to die

I started planning our future

But you were just 19 still a firefly

You got terrible vision

You should seen I was leaving

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

Trying 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 leaving

Not one I could see

I must have had a reason for leaving

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
