Fireflies Lyrics

If 10 more million fireflies

Would light the world outside my bed

Can't make a world from mine

A life my babygurl not tryna live

She locked her eyes with mine

And hers would glisten like a diamond did

She heated up the house

Got cold alone nights in the Dimond District

Movement like a flying fish might jump right in the lake

Way she'd take my breath a diver girl free dive no scuba tank

My girl a sea life scientist she tryna save the coral reef

And raise awareness bout a proxy war in rural North Korea

Advertising silence every move was seen plain sight

Knowing I'd die just like Orion's constellation in the sky

She fell in love with getting caught was always lying in my face

And so did I cz all the ways she made it up to me were crazy

New York City trip in March

She lied and took off work for me

Those 20 days gave all the time I wasted so much purpose

What hides behind her soul

Might be the only thing worth earning

When I asked bout her life goals

She said don't know but they been working

She said those 4 syllables

And took the time to sound out every letter

I said love you more and she would tell me OK bet

So you cu remember what I wore the day

I met you way back then

Or did all the years of separation to progress make you forget

It was a rhinestone tiger shirt I think

With jeans and that Moschino belt

We went to 1010 Pine West Oakland and danced away the heat

I can't remember what we got at Goodwill

Let me try retrace my steps

Replay the memories of days before our eyes had ever met

While 10 million fireflies

Light the world outside my bed

She can't make a world from mine

Theres not a single one she'd like to live

Her lip gloss reapplied

Would shine and glisten like a diamond did

She heated up the house

It got cold alone nights in the Dimond District

She said 4 more syllables

Took the time to sound out every letter

I said love you more and would jus tell me OK bet

So you cu remember what I wore the day I met you way back then

Did all the years of separation to progress make you forget

And if 10 more million fireflies

Would light the world outside my bed

You could make a world from mine

The only life babygurl tryna live

When she locked her eyes with mine

Her pupils glistened like a diamond did

I Don't believe in destiny

But manifestment might be real

This might be real

But don't think about it

Lost a million moments focusing on what I didn't have

Fought the feeling let emotions control every word and action

Take the chance to do this right

And I could make this would mah clammy

She said she got a plan if I don't mind commitment

She talked bout prophecy I talked bout books of genesis

We fought the wave like Noah's Ark all spices every sex

She said fuck the condom

I wan feel you deep in every inch

Later baby better yet let's talk

Exchange some knowledge with me

She asked me what made it rain said I forgot

Sumn bout evaporation condensation in the sky

She said baby that's all fake

There's so much more to it then science

So much more to it then pride

The way she talks with passion

I was so inspired by the world she made

And let me live inside

Had me feeling like if hell is real

If it's with her I wouldn't mind

We watched 10 more million fireflies

Light up the world outside the shed

She made her own world outta mine and set it all on fire

Her eyes made way to mine

Her pupils glistening like a diamond did

Crying tears of broken heart from her destructive way of life

I need a sign from you say something when it's time

And I'll be ready for you no pressure thou think for a while

But she said the ghost in her reflection terrified her

More than death cz living life alone was destined for her mind

And she was sent into a spiral

So was I had lost control

Tried grabbing anything in sight to fix the boats to get us home

She found an emerald in the waterfall

That'd change our course of motion

Now with fortune on our side let's try this thing again

Suppose that there were 10 more million fireflies

That'd light the world outside

She said baby we'd never know

Let's take this chance to leave the county

She made my oyster of a world

Taste better with some lime and lemon

Let her know

She's worth more then what anyone could try and tell her

10 Million fireflies lit up the world outside the shed

Her eyes would shine and glisten like a diamond did

She said if not in yours

Then there's not any life I'd like to live

Said baby I'm just tryna live

So don't take this from

If you do just know ill die from it
