First of all
Let me say
I never wanted things to turn out
This way
I just called
Cause it's been so long
But I’d rather tell you face to face
That we miss you back home
If you won't say a word about me taking back your keys
I swear I won't bring up the fact that you cheeted in me
If you drive 285 to this side, you’ll know where I'll be
Come drink this firefly with me, yeah
Come drink this firefly with me
Tell me more...
How you been?
Dad's been asking me about you
Ever since
I'm alright...
As well as I can be
I'm just getting older and I see life a lot more differently
Than I did when you left me
I'll hear your car out in the drive and come outside to meet ya
You'll get up on this porch ans sit down right here next to me
We can gaze out up the sky far as our weary eyes can see
Come drink this firefly with me, yeah
Come drink this firefly with me
Oh woah
We can laugh out loud at that old car that broke down in the snow
We both say it's a shame out favorite ice cream parlor’s closed
When the sun sets on our visit, y’know you don't have to go
You know I hate to drink alone
Always hated drinking alone
It sure is good to have you home
