It seems that summer always ends too soon
When ya see the leaves start falling faster than they grew
It seems you never know
Just how much is left to go
But looking back now, it really flew
Oh yeah, looking back now, it really flew

I can still smell the fresh cut grass and barbecue
Running 'round in wet swimsuits and no shoes
Way out there in grandma's yard
Was where nothing ever felt too hard
And a piece of pie could always cure my blues
Oh yeah, a piece of her pie could always cure my blues

Then out in the dark
The magic show
Would start
Fireflies lit up the night
Like sparks
We'd trap that magic in a jar
Just like we had our very own stars
Then we'd leave them there
We'd just leave them there
Yeah, leave them there

Fireflies all those fireflies
They're just trapped inside a jar in June
Oh oh oh oh oh
Fireflies left out in the light
With only memories
Of nights they flew

I grew up and moved so far away
I like imagining it's as I left it to this day
But nothing ever stays the same
Things always change and nobody's to blame
The memories may be all that remain
Oh yeah, my memories may be all that remain

With each drink all my problems grew
Every single day I stayed singing the blues
Until I was caught in the jaws
Of a big time swindler of the law
She trapped me and there was nothing I could do
Oh yeah, when she trapped me, there was nothing I could do
Now I'm like one of those

Fireflies all those fireflies
They're just trapped inside a jar in June
Oh oh oh oh oh
Fireflies left out in the light
With only memories
Of nights they flew

The brightness of this day is falling through
As the distant sun tucks itself into its room
I think of the mistakes I've made
I'll take most of them down to my grave
But I'll do time for what I didn't do
Yeah, I'll be doing time for what I didn't do

I'm in the dark taking snapshots of the moon
I imagine meeting her one day when all my trouble's through
A girl with flowers in her hair
With lots of empathy to spare
I need someone to care, could it be you?
Oh yeah, I need someone to care, could it be you

Time marches on
And the darkness fades
Yeah, time marches on
And the darkness fades
And the brightness fades
And the darkness fades

I still remember those
Fireflies all those fireflies
They're just trapped inside a jar in June
Oh oh oh oh oh
Fireflies left out in the light
With only memories
Of nights they flew
With only memories
Of nights they flew
With only memories
Of nights they flew
