Fireflies -

I feel my life it slips away.

Lay a flower on my tomb, a halo on my head.

I know I will be missed, so many chances fade away.

Forgive but don’t forget.

(acoustic version only)

Then pour a little in my wounds to take this ache away.

I know we all are lost, simply trying to find our way.

Live each day like it’s your last.*

Chorus

And I — I see the fireflies.

And I — I can’t stop wondering.

Verse 2

So many thoughts they cross my mind.

I feel the folly of my youth, the folly of my pride.

I know you have regrets, you and I were brothers.

Only myself to blame.

Chorus

And I — I see the fireflies.

And I — I can’t stop running.

And I — I’m down by friendly fire.

And I — I can’t stop wondering.

Bridge

I know that life goes on.

Yet I cannot move on.

Verse 3

I watch you go from day to day.

Trapped behind this two-way mirror, I long to touch your face.

I know you love me still, (keep my picture by your bed.)

You know I love you still.

Chorus

And I — I see the fireflies.

And I — I can’t stop running.

And I — I’m down by friendly fire.

And I — I can’t stop wondering.
