The Fate of Fireflies

Well, I read somewhere
That they're slowly disappearing
'Cause there's too much light
In the evening sky

And in all that glare
Even with their brightest flicker
They can't find another firefly

Baby, I could swear
That the same goes for true lovers
Don't they always find
Each other in the dark

It was a twist of fate
That I was trapped in shadows
When I saw you flash your perfect spark

There are all these people
In the world
Saying true love's just a lie
Every night they flit into the glow
Of a rosy neon sky

So what do you say?
Baby, shall we turn these lights out?
So that we can see
What's right before our eyes

And by that faint flame
Let us find salvation
And escape the fate of fireflies
And escape the fate
The fate of fireflies
