Halo Of Fireflies

We've all got to dream of something
Tall buildings or wet sand between our toes
Or fast cars and fancy clothes

Some folks spend their whole lives fighting
While some find the good life drops in their lap
Nothing ever will close that gap
You just got to jump onboard
And hope you'll find your reward

Soon that day will come your urge to roam will relent
So make your move, make your peace, make amends
We're all coming home in the end

I've travelled so far so quickly
The continent spinning beneath my wings
Ticking boxes, aquiring things
But the further I go I find
I just want what I left behind

Maybe love will lead me back to your door
The need to feel something simple and pure
Like I did before

How we strain our necks to see what's around the next bend
Or waste our hours chasing fair-weather friends
We're all coming home in the end.

So fly
Don't shy from some afar desired prize
A million miles from where we lie
'Cause your flight is one enormous circle looping wide
To bring you right back to my side

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Born in a barn by a lake made of whiskey
Is a girl with a halo made of fireflies
She married me by the moonlight in Athens
And we drove away to see the world

I've seen a moth by the light
And he won't die without a fight
But like a moth seeks the sun
He never knows if there is one
But keeps on looking anyway

Call me a cab 'cause I'm drunk and I'm lonely
And I know it's time for me to go on home
Don't wait for me at the end of the party
'Cause I, I won't be there

I've seen a moth by the light
And he won't die without a fight.
And like the moth I don't know
Just where the hell I'm supposed to go
But I'll keep looking anyway

I've seen a moth by the light
And he won't die without a fight.
And like the moth I don't know
Just where the hell I'm supposed to go
But I'll keep looking anyway

So in my dreams I can tell you about her
And the way that we spend our lives in happiness
Down in a barn by a lake made of whiskey
Is a girl with a halo made of fireflies
