When she's curled in his arms Entangled and warm She thinks, sometimes That it cannot last That it cannot last
In the window as the earth goes round And the air gets thin in the lungs and the hearts of lonely men Young to old pretend that they live forever Jewels of the soul that turn into the worst terror It ain't an error Lord they brighten the skies Walking with the light in their eyes like fireflies She hold her love like a statue pose And he ain't even got a kiss from a rose So will they let it glow
They never felt it They never felt it They never felt it before Never, never
They'd never let it They'd never let it They'd never let it wither Never, never
They'd never sever They'd never sever They'd never want to sever Never never We talk about fireflies, fireflies, fireflies, fireflies
One day he'll leave Or she may go Away As long as they stay Let it be so Let it be so
He traveled many roads in this land to touch her hand And experience the love of child woman and man Together they stand connected talking about this plan Feeling that the world can't hide, can it all survive Ah moment in time becomes one in the mind Ability to open her heart and let it all combine The strangest life that a couple will find With rain clouds that be floating around under the sunshine
They never felt it They never felt it They never felt it before Never, never
They'd never let it They'd never let it They'd never let it wither Never, never
They'd never sever They'd never sever They'd never want to sever Never never We talk about fireflies, fireflies, fireflies, fireflies Inside of your eyes
As fleeting as a firefly With the beat of a wing It could die The light ending With its life With its life
Truth they feeling never lie's ain't it special ya'll Sitting by the room waiting for that one to call Selling themselves for life change the aim The love a color flame straight from the heaven man How it hang coming together, but can't explain Ah warm feeling out of control so maintain And leave a legacy of further intertwine Moving along with fluttery patterns of fireflies
They never felt it They never felt it They never felt it before Never, never
They'd never let it They'd never let it They'd never let it wither Never, never
They'd never sever They'd never sever They'd never want to sever Never never We talk about fireflies, fireflies, fireflies Inside of your eyes
