Firefly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Firefly I never tried to take you very far 'Cause when I tried to put you in a jar You lost your glow, oh no But, firefly Now it's warming up again and you've come back And every single lightning strike's a sneak attack And you're burned in my heart [Chorus] Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you [Verse 2] It was a young mistake To fall for something shiny even though it's fake Blinded like a flashback and the chance you take When you're playing with fire So, firefly Don't forget you're not the only light in the sky There's a time for darkness and a time to shine But now it's time to fly [Chorus] Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you [Bridge] When you're caught, it's tough to free you And when you're dark, it's tough to see you Because you never get too high off the ground But I'm learning to pursue you You might be bright, but I can see right through you To your heart and the light that you've found [Interlude] [Verse 3] Firefly I remember you from summers past But you always came and went so fast That I missed you before you were gone But, firefly Now I've captured you here in my song And just like dusk I know it won't be long Until you're burned in my heart [Chorus] Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you
