Fireflies in a Mason Jar Lyrics

Last night I dreamed they dropped the bomb

But you and I survived

And so we sat and watched the sunrise

Peeking through a muddy sky

We were holding hands

The promised land was just another field

There was no one left to rob

And there was nothing left to steal

And we had all of the time in the world

When I looked and saw the clock had stopped

A piece inside me died

But the piece was just a veil

Keeping memories from my eyes

So we shattered faces on the clocks

Declared the time was ours

Like the fireflies that we had caught

And kept in mason jars

And we had all of the time in the world

But fireflies will burn out

When you pluck them from the air

And time will lose its meaning

When you spend it without care

So let me count my hours

Let me measure out my days

Remember gold is just a stone

Without a price upon its name

And if you'd let me cause the sun to rise

And burn the morning dew

I would let it lie there dormant

Just to spend the night with you

And we'd have all of the time in the world
