Fireflies
When the streetlights come on and the fireflies flicker
I am walking her home, making plans
With her shoes in her hands, I am watching her dance
As the hem of her dress gently kisses the grass
It suddenly rains on us
She is laughing and turns up her hands
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe
Cold on her necks, snow in our paths
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us
Is that beautiful things never last
That's why fireflies flash
When this summertime ends, we will not part as friends
Things were promised in blood, we have sinned
Now there's tears in her eyes as she's screaming goodbyes
I run 'long side the car turning numb to the sound
I notice a chill in the air
September is creeping up fast
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe
Cold on her necks, snow in our paths
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us
Is that beautiful things never last
That's why fireflies flash
Innocence didn't mean we're immune to these things
Let's blame the passage of time
Love and loss, truth it costs more than I can spare right now
Maybe it's simpler to lie
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe
Cold on her necks, snow in our paths
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us
Is that beautiful things never last
That's why fireflies flash
That's why fireflies flash
I am walking her home, making plans
With her shoes in her hands, I am watching her dance
As the hem of her dress gently kisses the grass
It suddenly rains on us
She is laughing and turns up her hands
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe
Cold on her necks, snow in our paths
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us
Is that beautiful things never last
That's why fireflies flash
When this summertime ends, we will not part as friends
Things were promised in blood, we have sinned
Now there's tears in her eyes as she's screaming goodbyes
I run 'long side the car turning numb to the sound
I notice a chill in the air
September is creeping up fast
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe
Cold on her necks, snow in our paths
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us
Is that beautiful things never last
That's why fireflies flash
Innocence didn't mean we're immune to these things
Let's blame the passage of time
Love and loss, truth it costs more than I can spare right now
Maybe it's simpler to lie
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe
Cold on her necks, snow in our paths
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us
Is that beautiful things never last
That's why fireflies flash
That's why fireflies flash
