Fireflies

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Before you met me I was a fairy princess

I caught frogs and called them prince

And made myself a queen

And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world

And I slept in castles

And fell in love

Because I was taught to dream

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

Cause I believe in fairytales

And dreamer's dreams

Like bedsheet sails

And I believe in Peter Pan

And miracles, anything I can to get by

And fireflies

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

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

Cause I believe in fairytales

And dreamer's dreams

Like bedsheet sails

And I believe in Peter Pan

And miracles, anything I can to get by

And fireflies

And fireflies

Before you met me I was a fairy princess

I caught frogs and called them prince

And made myself a queen

And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world

And I slept in castles

And fell in love

Because I was taught to dream
