Firefly
Caesar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're like a firefly, trying hard to give a sign
And when it's getting dark you shine a light
Everybody always worked hard, we were pleased with ourselves
And someone took away our hungry hearts

I could never do it to you (do to you)
Seems so easy just to make it right (make it right)
I think it's time for something new now (something new )
So I keep looking for a firefly
(Just to make it right), just to make it right
(Just to make it right), just to make it

Two sides to what I see, can't stick to this belief
I'm in the middle of conspiracies
One tells me he can be tied to what I feel is right
The other turns his face away from me

I could never do it to you (do to you )
It seems so easy just to make it right (make it right )
I think it's time for something new now (something new)
So I keep looking for my firefly




(Just to make it right), just to make it right
(Just to make it right), just to make it
