Fireflies
Marney Lyrics

When we were young and dumb and careless
When we were younger and didn't think much about the consequences of our actions.

Ripped sneakers and our cut up jeans
We didn't care much about our appearance and dressed casually.

We spent long days of running free and happy
We spent our days enjoying life, free and without worries.

Late nights of laughing in the streets
We stayed up late with friends, having fun and enjoying each other's company.

Please help me go back
I wish I could go back to those carefree days.

I need to know that
I need to feel that sense of freedom and happiness again.

Maybe together we can just be kids again
Maybe if we are together, we can relive those youthful and carefree moments.

With fireflies in our eyes
With a sense of wonder and magic in our eyes.

It was all we knew
We were innocent and inexperienced, and those simple things meant everything to us.

Catching lights
Chasing after the fireflies and trying to catch them.

Chasing highs
Trying to experience that same sense of excitement and wonder again.

If it was only me and you
If it was just the two of us, we could recapture that magic.

We could be
We could relive those carefree moments and be happy again.

We could see
We could look at the world with wonder and excitement again.

We could hold on to fireflies
We could hold on to those simple, magical moments and never let them go.

I don't remember how we got here
I don't know how things changed or how we became distant from each other.

Thought we could live inside a dream
We thought we could keep living in that carefree, magical world forever, but reality caught up with us.

And keep acting like nothing ever changed us
We pretended like nothing has changed between us, but we know that things are different now.

Pretending we're still you and me
Pretending that we are still the same people and still have that strong connection we had before.

Carry me, carry me to the morning
Help me escape from reality and take me to a place where I feel happy and free.

Stay awake staring up at the stars
Let's stay up all night and enjoy the beauty of the night sky.

What if we didn't wait til the morning
What if we stayed up all night and didn't wait for the new day to come.

To fall away, fall away from it all
To escape from our problems and fall away from reality.

I don't wanna be alone in the morning
I don't want to wake up and face reality alone.

I don't wanna be alone where we are
I don't want to feel alone in this place where we used to be happy together.

Fireflies
A symbol for those simple, magical moments that we cherish and want to relive.
