Reaching, though I fail to speak all the little thoughts inside me
A heart, subdued, that longs to dream
Count up every word I said, glances and each of my breaths
Fade in the noise again

Glittering, you came to me, wanting to explore and see it
Out where the fireflies ignited green
If I could start again, I think
Maybe I could turn to you honestly
But dawn’ll come eternally

Show me how to love
And let me be a part of you
So bright and new, so bright and new, I knew…
“Isn’t it enough?”
“We’ll find another time to look above”
The fireflies evaded my touch

What a fool I surely am, out there from where you’re standing
Holding your laughs behind a painted mask
Funny how the fireflies only have two weeks of shining
Once they alight the night and dye the sky
If I could start another life
I would soar above it and smile bright
Maybe then you’d take by your side
Let me hold your hand
We’ll travel all the galaxy
Our world may freeze, our world may freeze, but we
Have another plan
The two of us can fly and take it all back
The fireflies are reaching out their hands now

The heart I always locked away
Is calling out to reach to yours the same
The truth is all that I wanted was to say
“I’m here, so laugh another day”
So laugh another day

I feel a warmth upon my back to push me on
I wish that it would flow into the heart I lost

Never let it fade
I’ll take the ribbon fluttering
And hide away, and hide away, the shame
Carrying the weight
I’ll be the only soul who saw through the pain
The fireflies were with us that day

Now and for many years, I will hold it dear inside me
Deep in the heart that then was beating clear
If they ever want to hear, all that I’ll ever say’s:
“The fireflies had never appeared”
