Fireflies

Lyrics

[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
