Mayfly (feat. Kiki Felton)

Flew all the way to Rome
So that she wouldn't feel alone
And fell in love again
But it was just pretend

Lost in each other's eyes
So deep she couldn't see the lies
Until it was too late
She made the same mistake

So she sings to all the others that pass by

Mayfly, you think the light will guide you home
But its glow is much too warm
Little body breathes its last breath
As the fire starts to form

Mayfly, beware the things that shine too bright
They can leave you all but blind
Little body, breathes its last breath
As it flies its final flight

Thought if she found the one
If she could somehow have the sun
That things would slowly change
She'd no longer be afraid

Her life was passing by
Looking for ways to feel alive
She chose to run the race
Lost herself in the chase

So she sings to the others that pass by

Mayfly, you think the light will guide you home
But its glow is much too warm
Little body breathes its last breath
As the fire starts to form

Mayfly, beware the things that shine too bright
They can leave you all but blind
Little body, breathes its last breath
As it flies its final flight

And she sings to all the others, that slowly pass her by
Hear my plea
Please believe

Mayfly, you think the light will guide you home
But its glow is much too warm
Little body breathes its last breath
As the fire starts to form
