Fireflies

[Verse 1] Before you met me, I was a fairy princess I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen Before you knew me, I traveled 'round the world I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream [Pre-Chorus] I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top To capture Tinker Bell And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye But I could always tell [Chorus] I believe in fairy tales And dreamers' dreams like bed-sheet sails And I believe in Peter Pan And miracles, anything I can to get by And fireflies [Verse 2] Before I grew up, I saw you on a cloud I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings Before I grew up, I heard you whisper so loud "Life is hard and so is love, child, believe in all these things" [Pre-Chorus] I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top To capture Tinker Bell And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye But I could always tell [Chorus] I believe in fairy tales And dreamers' dreams like bed-sheet sails And I believe in Peter Pan And miracles, anything I can to get by And fireflies [Post-Chorus] Fireflies [Outro] Before you met me, I was a fairy princess I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen Before you knew me, I traveled 'round the world And I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream
