fireflies Lyrics

It's 5 a.m. and I promise I'm wide awake

But I can't pretend that this is not the work of fate

You text me, then call me, the next thing I know

Girl, I'm falling harder than I ever have

I know that's all me, the past it has taught me to let go

I don't wanna lose my grasp

Stumbled in and startled me

Wish I could see your point of view

I think you found a part of me

But didn't know that it was you

It's been a while since a smile

Has made its way across my face

Look in your eyes, and then I'm fine

Because they shine and light up the place

Like fireflies through the night

I'll hold a jar just in case

So I can capture this and savor it

'Cause I don't want you to go away

'Cause I don't want you to go away

'Cause I don't want you to go away

No, no, no, no

I wished you'd stayed

I didn't know it was coming true

Until I saw your face

And everything feels so brand new

Your smile, girl, it's glistening

You kiss me but now that you're listening

Oh, I've gotta tell you now

There's no one above you, I think that I love you

And now I'm never gonna let you go

Stumbled in and startled me

Wish I could see your point of view

I think you found a part of me

But didn't know that it was you

It's been a while since a smile

Has made its way across my face

Look in your eyes and then I'm fine

Because they shine and light up the place

Like fireflies through the night

I'll hold a jar just in case

So I can capture this and savor it

'Cause I don't want you to go away

'Cause I don't want you to go away

'Cause I don't want you to go away

Go away, go away, no, no

I don't want you to go away
