Fireflies Lyrics

To be last to leave...
Last to be gone...
Stolen from the one
Who hung onto it...
To be the last in the line
Those that live on...
Silhouette of a dream
Treasured by the ones
Who hung on...

Almost a breakdown...
Of our love affair
The stiletto cuts quick...
Like a whip through the air
Long distance winners...
Well, we survive the fight
Not one of us runs
From the firelight

So I would love to believe
Did I believe what you say?
With the drama of the moment
For us there is no easy way
Oooh, not one of us leaves
No, everyone stays
By the fire fades...

The last to be gone...
Oh, that I believe what you say
In the drama of the moment,
There is no easy way
Not one of us runs
Everyone stays close
'Til the fire fades...

To be last to be gone...

What caused the fearsome
Divorce in the night
No competition...
To survive, do it right
Well, you believe in the five
To survive the distance
Everyone fights...
Everyone fights...
For the firelight
Oooh...

At the risk of my feelings
Dreamers in the night
Some call it my nightmare
My five fireflies
Well, like a sailing ship
Not one of us runs
Everyone stays...
And the fire never fades
Of our love affair...
I would love to believe...
I believe what you say
Not today...
