Firefly
Bishop and Atheist Lyrics

Your shine how it makes me shiver
The brightness in you that radiates to me sends chills down my spine.

The line you trace
The path that you made for yourself.

It says you can still forgive her
Your path tells me that you are still forgiving someone.

And she will forgive you back
Your forgiving heart will pave the way for her to forgive you too.

Oh, hey, firefly
A sudden exclamation that acknowledges something bright and fleeting.

Oh, why, firefly
A question that asks the purpose of something so brief and bright as a firefly.

And I'd given up already
I lost hope and belief of something happening.

And I'd let my eyes adjust
I grew tired of looking and waited for something to appear.

When blinking and unsteady
When my sight was not reliable and hard to focus.

You say come in
Something wonderful invited me in.

So I will take This new shape
I will adapt to the changes that have occurred.

But tell me, darlin' What difference will it make?
However, I still wonder, what good could come from this?

And, oh, how it drifts through evening
The thought wanders throughout the night.

And into the darkening night
Thoughts slip through the mind as the night grows deeper.

And when I shine, she sees me
And then, when I am at my best, she notices me.

Oh, so brief and bright
Oh, how fleeting and radiant it is to be noticed.

So I will take to this new shape
I will make the most of the changing situations.

And will she know Will I show how I can glow?
And the question remains, will she take notice of how brilliant I can be?

Brief and bright, firefly
A reminder of how quick-lived and impressive it is to be seen.

Oh, so brief and bright
A repetition emphasizing the fleeting nature of being noticed.
