Fooling April Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've only begun to feel something new,
Searching the sky,
Wondering why she came back to me
I'm lost in the shadows and I'll never see her,
The sunlight is fallin' and so am I
It must be fate that knows I can, she's wondering too,
Chasing summer down like a firefly,
But seasons change and so will I
Day turns to night,
Knowing we might fear where to go from here,
But love as it seems,
Never redeems my questions of why
I'm lost in the shadows and I'll never see her,
The sunlight is fallin' and so am I
If I could find my way back to you, I'd understand
It must be fate that knows I can, she's wondering too,
Chasing summer down like a firefly,
But seasons change and so will I
And I know that change is always on my mind,
If she feels the same it's just a matter of time,
'Round in circles again,
I get the feeling this time will never end
If I could find my way back to you, I'd understand
It must be fate that knows I can, she's wondering too,
Chasing summer down like a firefly,
But seasons change and so will I
But seasons change and so will I
But seasons change and so will I
The song "Firefly" by Fooling April is about lost love and the hope of finding it again. It starts with the person singing about feeling a new something, or a spark, and wondering why their lost love came back to them. They express feeling lost and as if they will never see their love again. However, they still hold onto the hope that they can find their way back to each other, believing it must be fate that brought them together once before. As the song progresses, the lyrics hint at the difficulty and confusion that often comes with relationships and the fear of the unknown. The singer acknowledges that changes happen, but ultimately is hopeful that if they keep searching, the seasons will change and they will find their way back to each other.
Overall, the song is reflective of the ups and downs of relationships and the yearning to find a sense of stability and connection with someone. The lyrics capture the emotions of longing, confusion, and hope, which are all common themes in songs about lost love. The repeated line, "But seasons change and so will I," serves as a reminder that everything - including relationships - goes through different phases and there is always potential for growth and change.
