Firefly Lyrics

The echoes of your laughter

Are deadened by the maple trees

We run, run, run

We run into the summer breeze

You kiss me only after

We've sank our toes into the green

Of wet forest earth

And closed the distance in between

We tumble to the earth

Sweaty limbs so intertwined

We're pressing back and forth

Shallow breaths in late July

You reach your hand above

And try to catch a firefly

But it's gone, gone, gone

Gone into the night

You're holdin on for a minute

But I know your heart ain't in it

You will rest your wings until you fly

Well, You're a firefly

I won't catch you tonight

Kiss my fingers

With your firelight

You're a firefly

I won't catch you tonight

I'll let you go

Just hold me for one minute 'till you fly

Now you've packed your bags and flown away

Left me with this broken dream

You're gone, gone, gone

But I've one secret I will keep

These fireflies ain't here to stay

But they'll rest their weary wings

Just touch your finger to their legs

They'll land on anything

You're holdin' on for a minute

But I know your heart ain't in it

You can rest your wings until you fly

Well, You're a firefly

I won't catch you tonight

Kiss my fingers

With your firelight

You're a firefly

I won't catch you tonight

I'll let you go

Just hold me for one minute 'till you fly

You're a firefly

I won't catch you tonight

Take my hand

If only for one minute 'till you fly
