Would'ya could'ya catch these fireflies?
These thoughts that are buzzin' round in my mind
And put'em in a jar just by my bed
Turn the lights right off in my head
Well maybe baby your thoughts they fly too fast and
I'ma try to do my best to catch'em
And put'em in a jar just like you said
Turn the lights right off in your head
Would'ya could'ya catch these little lies?
The white ones I say to stay locked inside
And put'em in a bottle right by my bed
Swallow the key to my heart instead
Well maybe baby your lies they ain't so white but
I'm thinkin' since they don't keep me up at night
Then I'll put'em in a bottle just like you said
Swallow the key to your heart instead
I'm runnin' out of time before you
Start readin' my mind
Baby I got a secret
Maybe I'd like to keep it
Oh I'm runnin' out of lines to keep you close
But not inside
Baby I got a secret
Maybe I'd like to keep it
Would'ya could'ya catch these starry signs?
These milky drops shootin' through my mind
And put'em in a jar just by my bed
Wipe the wonder right outta my head.
Well maybe baby your drops they fall to fast and
I'ma try to do my best to catch'em
And put'em in a jar just like you said
Wipe the wonder right outta your head
Would'ya could'ya catch these little sighs?
The shy ones I do to say I'm gettin' tired
And put'em in a bottle right by my bed
Drink up my lonely lips instead
Well maybe baby your sighs they ain't so shy but
I kinda like the way you try to be polite
So I'll put'em in a bottle just like you said
Drink up your lonely lips instead
I'm runnin' out of time before you
Start readin' my mind
Baby I got a secret
Maybe I'd like to keep it
Oh I'm runnin' out of lines to keep you
Close but not inside
Baby I got a secret
Maybe I'd like to keep it
Would'ya could'ya skip to new places I find?
I'd pack a little bag leave the rest behind
Spin the globe in a circle
Head wherever we land
See the cities
Meet the mountains
Stick our toes in the sand
We're runnin' out of time before we
Start loosin' our minds
Baby if this could be it
Won't you whisper your secret
Oh we're runnin' out of lines to keep us
Safe but locked inside
The world's made for dreamin'
Lets go out and see it'
Lets go explore like fireflies
Chase these thoughts buzzin' in our minds and
Never bottle up whats left unsaid
Open up the jars right by our beds
