The fireflies, they left me
We were almost out the door
Fallen through the window when
The clouds began to cry
Dust on shooting stars would lay
Unswept like frozen skies

To wash this melody clean
I lost a river, disappearing stream
Red tears running down my sleeves
I looked up to the sky
Afraid that I would cry because
Those fireflies, they left me

The fireflies, they left me all alone
Wondering how
'Til I die, I won't know why
I've held back so much 'til this time
Now I'm finding fireflies in tiny nooks, silly lines
Finally I realize
My depressed mind, hateful eyes
Were just the darkness left behind
When I lost my fireflies (ah)
Fireflies (ah), ooo (mmm)

Silence so loud
I couldn't hear me think
Skeletal trees, autumn leaves
Losing moons, blood in sinks
Shiny glass buildings
Squatted over memories

The fireflies, they left me all alone
Wondering how
'Til I die, I won't know why
I've held back so much 'til this time
Trodding on fallen hearts
Shadows counting stars
Windowless rooms left behind
When I lost my fireflies (ah)
Fireflies (ah)

Until I die, I won't know why
I've held back so much 'til this time
Now I'm finding all of my fireflies
They're with me, oh

I know that I'm not perfect
Maybe this is how it starts
'Cause every day I'm learning
How to mend my broken heart
The universe is endless
There will always be other shooting stars
And I know where they are (they are)
Oh

The fireflies, they left me
But I know where they are
At the corner of the bookshelves
They're glowin' in a jar
