Fireflies

[Verse 1]
Before you met me I was a fairy, a princess
I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen
And before you knew me, I traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream

[Pre-Chorus]
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top to capture Tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye, but I could always tell

[Chorus]
'Cause I believe in fairytales
And dreamers' dreams, like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles and anything I can
To get by
And fireflies

[Verse 2]
Now, before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
And I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings
And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
"Well, life is hard, and so is love, child, believe in all these things"

[Pre-Chorus]
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top to capture Tinkerbell
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye, but I could always tell

[Chorus]
'Cause I believe in fairytales
And dreamers' dreams, like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles and anything I can
To get by
And fireflies (Fireflies)

[Refrain]
And fireflies

[Outro]
Before you met me I was a fairy, a princess
I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen
And before you knew me, I traveled 'round the world
And I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream
