Fireflies

Your shine how it makes me shiver
The line you trace
It says you can still forgive her
And she will forgive you back
Oh, hey, firefly
Oh, why, firefly
And I'd given up already
And I'd let my eyes adjust
When blinking and unsteady
You say come in ...
Oh, why, firefly
Oh, why, firefly
So I will take
This new shape
But tell me, darlin'
What difference will it make?
And, oh, how it drifts through evening
And into the darkening night
And when I shine, she sees me
Oh, so brief and bright
Brief and bright, firefly
Oh, why, firefly
So I will take to this new shape
And will she know
Will I show how I can glow?
Oh, why, firefly
Brief and bright, firefly
Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, so brief and bright
