Fireflies

Fireflies

I've been thinking hard every night, worrying 'bout the way things might be
Getting high with the fireflies, blending with the stars
Trying to see into the future, wondering how I got so old
And knowing that this little town can't hold me

But there's some things you just can't dwell on
Sometimes you stumble and fall
Some people must live and learn, and forget about the past
Sometimes the lesson's never learned

All my friends they know what they're doing, they planned their lives in the right few steps
But nine to five and a wife and a home won't do me
Where do you turn when you feel alone, and the whole damn world has got you down
And you're weary of the comforts of the bottle
And the last thing that you want to do, is take the walk to your empty bedroom
You tell yourself you're not always so smart

Mistakes are made fairly often
Sins committed rarely forgotten
Seasons change and life goes on, and tomorrow's another day
But the memories of lovers never fade away

Lovers come and lovers go, years go by and dreams grow old
And some of us are not so bold to keep searching
But I'll keep hoping till my dying day, to find what it takes to make me happy
And pray this time I don't let it slip away

But there's some things, you just can't dwell on
Sometimes you stumble and fall
Some people must live and learn, and forget about the past
Sometimes the lesson's never learned

I've been thinking hard every night, worrying 'bout the ways things might be
Getting high with the fireflies, blending with the stars
