Firefly
The echoes of your laughter
Are deadened by the maple trees
We run, run, run
We run into the summer breeze
You kiss me only after
We've sank our toes into the green
Of wet forest earth
And closed the distance in between
We tumble to the earth
Sweaty limbs so intertwined
We're pressing back and forth
Shallow breaths in late July
You reach your hand above
And try to catch a firefly
But it's gone, gone, gone
Gone into the night
You're holdin on for a minute
But I know your heart ain't in it
You will rest your wings until you fly
Well, You're a firefly
I won't catch you tonight
Kiss my fingers
With your firelight
You're a firefly
I won't catch you tonight
I'll let you go
Just hold me for one minute 'till you fly
Now you've packed your bags and flown away
Left me with this broken dream
You're gone, gone, gone
But I've one secret I will keep
These fireflies ain't here to stay
But they'll rest their weary wings
Just touch your finger to their legs
They'll land on anything
You're holdin' on for a minute
But I know your heart ain't in it
You can rest your wings until you fly
Well, You're a firefly
I won't catch you tonight
Kiss my fingers
With your firelight
You're a firefly
I won't catch you tonight
I'll let you go
Just hold me for one minute 'till you fly
You're a firefly
I won't catch you tonight
Take my hand
If only for one minute 'till you fly
Are deadened by the maple trees
We run, run, run
We run into the summer breeze
You kiss me only after
We've sank our toes into the green
Of wet forest earth
And closed the distance in between
We tumble to the earth
Sweaty limbs so intertwined
We're pressing back and forth
Shallow breaths in late July
You reach your hand above
And try to catch a firefly
But it's gone, gone, gone
Gone into the night
You're holdin on for a minute
But I know your heart ain't in it
You will rest your wings until you fly
Well, You're a firefly
I won't catch you tonight
Kiss my fingers
With your firelight
You're a firefly
I won't catch you tonight
I'll let you go
Just hold me for one minute 'till you fly
Now you've packed your bags and flown away
Left me with this broken dream
You're gone, gone, gone
But I've one secret I will keep
These fireflies ain't here to stay
But they'll rest their weary wings
Just touch your finger to their legs
They'll land on anything
You're holdin' on for a minute
But I know your heart ain't in it
You can rest your wings until you fly
Well, You're a firefly
I won't catch you tonight
Kiss my fingers
With your firelight
You're a firefly
I won't catch you tonight
I'll let you go
Just hold me for one minute 'till you fly
You're a firefly
I won't catch you tonight
Take my hand
If only for one minute 'till you fly
