Lyrics

Fireflies (Single Version)

[Verse 1]

To be the last to leave

The last to be gone

Stolen from the ones

Who held onto it

To be the last in the line

Oh, the ones that live on

Silhouette of a dream

Treasured by the ones

Who hung onto it

[Verse 2]

Almost a breakdown

Of our love affair

The stiletto cuts quick

Like a whip through the air

Long distance winners

Will we survive the flight?

Not one of us runs

From the firelight

[Chorus]

I would love to believe

I believe what you say

In the drama of the moment

Oh no, there is no easy way

No one ever leaves

Everyone stays close 'til the fire fades

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

I would love to believe

I believe what you say

In the drama of the moment

Oh no, there is no easy way

No one ever leaves

Everyone stays close 'til the fire fades

[Verse 3]

To be the last to leave

What caused the fearsome

Divorce in the night?

There was no competition

Well, to survive do it right

Oh, you believe in the five

To survive the distance

Everyone fights

Everyone fights and the fire flies (Oh)

[Outro]

Ooh, like a sailing ship

Like a whip through the air

I would love to believe

I believe what you say
