Fireflies
I've got a sepia toned Polaroid of you from days gone by
You look so good in shades but I wish I could see your eyes
Shining bright right back at me like you saw something in mine
Lighting up the August night like dizzy fireflies
If we saved a thousand dollars back then we knew we would be fine
We'd sneak into the golf course back when all we had was time
We'd lie under the fireflies and drink a box of wine
Long before you wanted more and this whole world lost its mind
This whole world lost its mind
Can you meet me there tonight?
I don't want nothing but your hand in mine
Like when we were young and wild eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Lit under the fireflies
If I can double up my salary, next year we might afford a house
I could work away my fingerprints, grind the teeth out of my mouth
You said if we can't find our hope, we'll end up living by our fear
But every day seems less ok and it hasn't been our year
I'm older now and all I know how is to work to see your face
Smiling proud, knowing we carved out some tiny little space
But this clock just keeps on ticking, we can't seem to slow it down
Let's kick against the current and I'll hold you if we drown
I'll hold you if we drown
Can you meet me there tonight?
I don't want nothing but your hand in mine
Like when we were young and wild eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Lit under the fireflies
Would you meet me there tonight?
I don't want nothing but your hand in mine
Like when we were young and wild eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Meet me there tonight
Meet me there tonight
Right when we were young and wild eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Lit under the fireflies
Lit under the fireflies
Lit under the fireflies
You look so good in shades but I wish I could see your eyes
Shining bright right back at me like you saw something in mine
Lighting up the August night like dizzy fireflies
If we saved a thousand dollars back then we knew we would be fine
We'd sneak into the golf course back when all we had was time
We'd lie under the fireflies and drink a box of wine
Long before you wanted more and this whole world lost its mind
This whole world lost its mind
Can you meet me there tonight?
I don't want nothing but your hand in mine
Like when we were young and wild eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Lit under the fireflies
If I can double up my salary, next year we might afford a house
I could work away my fingerprints, grind the teeth out of my mouth
You said if we can't find our hope, we'll end up living by our fear
But every day seems less ok and it hasn't been our year
I'm older now and all I know how is to work to see your face
Smiling proud, knowing we carved out some tiny little space
But this clock just keeps on ticking, we can't seem to slow it down
Let's kick against the current and I'll hold you if we drown
I'll hold you if we drown
Can you meet me there tonight?
I don't want nothing but your hand in mine
Like when we were young and wild eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Lit under the fireflies
Would you meet me there tonight?
I don't want nothing but your hand in mine
Like when we were young and wild eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Meet me there tonight
Meet me there tonight
Right when we were young and wild eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Lit under the fireflies
Lit under the fireflies
Lit under the fireflies
