Moonlight & Fireflies Songtext

von Rachael Sage

Moonlight and fireflies, everything beautiful
I'd be scared of beautiful if beauty wasn't true
So many open skies – how my head is spinning…!
Can see my own reflection in the fear of missing you

Don't you see everything points upwards
Can this be another sign I shouldn't be touching down
I was once the epitome of stubborn
But now I'm not sure enough to be so certain… be so certain

When will this slow volcano of ambition
Cease boiling over with endless misery
‘cause being so driven has never been fulfilling
And I barely lived my life until you captured me

Don't you see everything points upwards
Can this be another sign I shouldn't be touching down
I was once the epitome of stubborn
But now I'm not sure enough to be so certain… be so certain

Moonlight and fireflies, hippies by the oceanside
I used to make fun of them and laugh at liberty
‘Cause I knew my own heart was swinging like a pendulum
Away from what was obvious and toward some destiny

But destiny's a foggy night and destiny's a hotel room
And destiny's pneumonia with both hands wrapped around your heart
And oh you found me shivering, you found me unraveling
You found me hovering above the hardest part

So fireflies and moonlight are nothing and everything
And everything and nothing is brand new to me now
‘Cause I have wandered aimlessly, avoiding every victory
As though it be the death of as though it'd leave a scar

Don't you see everything points upwards
Can this be another sign I shouldn't be touching down
I was once the epitome of stubborn
But now I'm not sure enough to be so certain… be so certain
