You looked like my mother
Did when she was 19 not afraid to die
I started planning our future
But you were just 19 still a firefly
You got terrible vision
You should seen I was leaving
When I first appeared
I got bit by the footlights
I got caught in the headlights in any place
But here
Never say you'll never leave
'Cause you'll never know til you try
In a jar fireflies
Only last for one night only last for one night
Trains roll like gamblers in slow mo
Trying to find good luck when they couldn't find love
Oh yeah and I'm gonna sleep on the train tracks
It's gonna be a peaceful night then it's gonna get rough
Never say you'll never leave
'Cause you'll never know til you try
In a jar fireflies
Only last for one night only last for one night
I must have had a reason for leaving
Not one I could see
I must have had a reason for leaving
It must have been me it must have been me
You looked like my mother
Did when she was 19 not afraid to die
For the last time I'm not your mother
And I was only 19 I'm still a firefly
