Lyrics: Fireflies

Rhett :
You looked like my mother
Did when she was nineteen
And not afraid to die

I started planning our future
But you were just nineteen
And still a firefly

Rachael :
You got terrible vision
Should have seen I was leaving
When I first appeared

I got bit by the footlights
I got caught in a headlights
Headed any place but here

Both :
Never say you'll never leave
'Cause you never know til you try
In a jar fireflies only last for one night
Only last for one night

Rachael :
Trains roll
Like gamblers in slow mo
Trying to find good luck
When they couldn't find love

Rhett :
Oh yeah and I
I'm gonna sleep on the train tracks
It's gonna be peaceful
And then it's gonna get rough

Both :
Never say you'll never leave
'Cause you never know til you try
In a jar fireflies only last for one night
Only last for one night

I must have had a reason for leaving
Not one I could see
I must have had a a reason for leaving
It must have been me, it must have been me

Rhett :
You looked like my mother
Did when she was nineteen
And not afraid to die

Rachael :
For the last time
I'm not your mother
And I was only nineteen
And still a firefly
