Ron Pope - Fireflies lyrics

When the street lights come on and the fireflies flicker I am walking her home Making plans With her shoes in her hands I am watching her dance As the hem of her dress gently kisses the gra** It suddenly rains on us She is laughing and turns up her hands This is a cla**ic part of a romantic picture, or montague if you will, this shows the natural beauty that comes with the rain and how even it can be romantic. Like autumn turns leaves Winter will breathe cold on our necks Snow in our paths Wherever she goes All that I know about us is that beautiful things never last That's why fireflies flash When this summer time ends we will not part as friends Things were promised in blood We have sinned Now there's tears in her eyes as she's screaming goodbyes I run 'long side the car Turning numb to the sound I notice a chill in the air September is creeping up fast Like autumn turns leaves Winter will breathe cold on our necks Snow in our paths Wherever she goes All that I know about us is that beautiful things never last That's why fireflies flash Innocence didn't mean we're immune to these things Let's blame the pa**age of time Love and loss Truth It costs more than I can spare right now Maybe it's simpler to lie Like autumn turns leaves Winter will breathe cold on our necks Snow in our paths Wherever she goes All that I know about us is that beautiful things never last That's why fireflies flash Oh Oh That's why fireflies flash Oh Oh
