Raeve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fireflies in the sky
And they falling down
And hit the ground
Run around
Chasing all my dream
Will you come with me tonight
Be my firefly, my firefly
My firefly tonight
And come with me
Gimme a light, Oh
Gimme a light, Gimme a light
Oh, And i can see

Firefly, firefly, My firefly tonight
Firefly, firefly, My firefly tonight
Yeah, Come with me.

Fireflies in the sky
And they coming down
And hit the ground
Run around
Chasing all my dream
Will you come with me tonight
Be my firefly, my firefly
My firefly tonight
And come with me
Gimme a light, Oh
Gimme a light, Gimme a light
Oh, And i can see

Firefly, firefly, My firefly tonight
Firefly, firefly, My firefly tonight




Yeah, Come with me.
End.
