Your Firefly
Ben Cocks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the moon comes, your're a little firefly
I love you more than I can say
No I'll never fly away
I'm your firefly, I'm your shade
I wanna live in a house that we've made
I wanna love you everyday
The lyrics to Ben Cocks’s song "Your Firefly" portray a beautiful love story. The song implies that the singer relies on the other person for support and feels loved unconditionally, and always hopes to stay by that person's side. “When the sun comes, you’re my shade” clearly suggests that whenever this person feels overwhelmed, their partner provides them with a sense of comfort and shelter. It is similar to how a tree provides shade from the sun. Moreover, when you imagine a little firefly, you think of something as precious and delicate, something that needs protection. Therefore, when the moon comes, the singer compares their partner to a firefly, stating that they need to be protected so they can continue to shine brightly.
The second verse directly states the singer's feelings towards the partner. They declare their love for their partner and that what they feel cannot be put into words. “I wanna live in a house that we’ve made, I wanna love you every day” implies that they want to commit themselves to this person and build a life together. Furthermore, the last line of the song, “And I’ll never fly away” consummates the idea that the singer wants to stay by the partner's side and will never leave them.

I heard this for the first time on a commercial break on disney channel promoting anime movie marathons including "spirited away" and "howl's moving castle" and I remember singing along to the song but I never really looked for it on the internet until 7 years later (present). It's such a beautiful song 💖
