Fireflies Lyrics

[Rhett]
You look like my mother
Did when she was nineteen,
Not afraid to die
I started planning our future
When you were just nineteen,
I stole a firefly

[Rachel]
You got terrible vision
Should have seen I was leaving
When I first appeared
I got bit by the footlights
Got caught in the headlights
In any place but here.

[Both]
Never say you'll never leave,
Cause you'll never know til you try
In a jar, fireflies
Only last for one night
Only last for one night

[Rachel]
Trains roll, like camels in slow mo
Tryin' to find good love
Well it couldn't find them

[Rhett]
Oh yeah, and I'm
Gonna sleep on the train tracks
It's gonna be peaceful
And it's gonna rough

[Both]
Never say you'll never leave,
Cause you'll never know til you try
In a jar, fireflies
Only last for one night
Only last for one night

[Both]
I must have had reason for leaving

[Rhett]
Not one I could see

[Both]
I must have had reason for leaving

[Rhett]
Must have been me

[Both]
Must have been me

[Rhett]
You look like my mother
Did when she was nineteen,
Not afraid to die

[Rachel]
For the last time,
I'm not your mother
And I was only nineteen
When I stole a firefly
