Firefly is about meeting someone who makes you feel brand new, like you can be anyt...
[Verse 1]
Crashing waves, sparkling
They take me back
To you again
Distant shores on the horizon
Where you'll be waiting
With those eyes
[Chorus]
World's apart
When it went dark
You were always on my mind
Illuminate, set ablaze
You make me light up like a firefly
Like fireflies
[Verse 2]
Diamond skies flickering
Like fading fires still burning
Against it all
We'll keep on rising
It leaves me aching to see those eyes
[Chorus]
World's apart
When it went dark
You were always on my mind
Illuminate, set ablaze
(x2)
You make me light up like a firefly
Like fireflies
[Bridge]
Every night a little lighter
All the noise a little quieter
And it's just you and I
Like fireflies, like fireflies
You make me light up like a firefly
[Chorus](x2)
World's apart
When it went dark
You were always on my mind
Illuminate, set ablaze
You make me light up like a firefly
Like fireflies
