Fireflies

I can feel all I can't know
I can feel the undertow
I can hear the river flow
Laughing at us as we go

The present and the vanishing
The divine in everything
In the air your summer dress
Has left me floating

But I could never keep a secret
Everything is always known
Nothing here is ever hidden
Cause everything is always shown

I could never keep a secret
I don't know why I even try
We're looking through a sky of mirrors
To see ourselves tonight

Cause you and I are fireflies
Born for the summer skies
The light that’s in each other’s eyes
Fireflies

You and I are fireflies
Forgetting that the sun will rise
I'll meet you in the air tonight
Fireflies

We can hurt or we can mend
Terrorize or transcend
No beginning and no end
Yeah, we'll survive

Like angels falling down to earth
Voices sing for all their worth
All I need's a pen that works
But it’s a story without words

Of how the night will set us free
Take us where we need to be
Your winking eyes are all I need
To feel alive

But I could never keep a secret
Everything is always known
Nothing here is ever hidden
Cause everything is always shown

I could never keep a secret
I don't know why I even try
We're looking through a sky of mirrors
To see ourselves tonight

Cause you and I are fireflies
Born for the summer skies
The light that's in each other's eyes
Fireflies

You and I are fireflies
Forgetting that the sun will rise
I'll meet you in the air tonight
Fireflies

We can hurt or we can mend
Terrorize or transcend
No beginning and no end
Yeah, we're alive
