Rhett Miller - Fireflies lyrics

Rhett: 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 Rachael: You got terrible vision Shoulda seen I was leavin' when I first appeared I got bit by the foot lights I got caught in the headlights, any place but here Both: Never say you'll never leave 'Cause you never know till you try In a jar, fireflies Only last for one night Only last for one night Rachael: Trains roll like gamblers in slow-mo Trying to find good luck, where they couldn't find love Rhett: Oh yeah, and I, I'm gonna sleep on the train tracks It's gonna be peaceful, it's gonna get rough Both: Never say you'll never leave 'Cause you never know till you try In a jar, fireflies Only last for one night Only last for one night Both: I must have had a reason for leavin' Rhett: Not one I could see Both: I must have had a reason for leavin' Rhett: Must have been me Both: Must have been me Rhett: You looked like my mother Did when she was 19, not afraid to die Rachael: For the last time I'm not your mother Hell, I was only nineteen I'm still a firefly
