Fireflies
Ron Pope ( Cover ) Lyrics

When the street lights come on and the fireflies flicker
As night falls and fireflies dot the sky, I am spending time with her.

I am walking her home
I am accompanying her back to her house.

Making plans
We are discussing and making arrangements for our future together.

With her shoes in her hands I am watching her dance
As she twirls barefoot, I am admiring her graceful movements.

As the hem of her dress gently kisses the grass
Her dress lightly brushes against the blades of grass as she dances.

It suddenly rains on us
We get caught in an unexpected shower.

She is laughing and turns up her hands
She finds joy in the situation and raises her hands up to feel the raindrops.

Like autumn turns leaves
As the leaves change with the season, so too do the circumstances of our lives.

Winter will breathe cold on our necks
Just as winter brings a chill to the air, we will face difficult and uncomfortable times.

Snow in our paths
Obstacles and challenges will arise in our journey together.

Wherever she goes
No matter where she may travel or what may happen to us, I will always hold her in my heart.

All that I know about us is that beautiful things never last
I have come to accept that even the most beautiful moments in life are fleeting.

That's why fireflies flash
The brief but magical glow of fireflies serves as a reminder to cherish and appreciate the fleeting beauty of life.

When this summer time ends we will not part as friends
As the summer draws to a close, our relationship will not end on amicable terms.

Things were promised in blood
We made promises to each other with the deepest level of commitment.

We have sinned
We have transgressed and caused harm to each other.

Now there's tears in her eyes as she's screaming goodbyes
As we say goodbye, she cries and expresses her pain through words.

I run 'long side the car
I try to keep up with the car as it drives away.

Turning numb to the sound
As I distance myself from her, I become emotionally detached and desensitized.

I notice a chill in the air
I become aware of the changing season and the impending coldness of winter.

September is creeping up fast
The end of summer and the beginning of a new season is quickly approaching.

Innocence didn't mean we're immune to these things
Even though we were once naïve and inexperienced, we are still vulnerable to the hardships of life.

Let's blame the passage of time
We can attribute our struggles to the natural progression of events over time.

Love and loss
The painful truth of life is that love and loss are intertwined.

Truth
It is important to confront and acknowledge the truth, even when it is difficult to do so.

It costs more than I can spare right now
Facing the truth and dealing with the consequences may require more from me than I am willing or able to give.

Maybe it's simpler to lie
Perhaps it would be easier to avoid the painful truth and tell a comforting lie instead.

Oh
An expression of emotion that cannot be put into words.
