I can feel all I can know
I can feel the undertone
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 can never keep a secret
Everything is always known
Nothing here is ever hidden
'Cause everything is always shown
I can 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

Fireflies

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

Like falling angels bound to Earth
Voices sing for all their worth
All I need is 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 can never keep a secret
Everything is always known
Nothing here is ever hidden
'Cause everything is always shown
I can 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

Fireflies

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