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 summer rise

I'll meet you in the air tonight

Fireflies

Fireflies

 

We can hurt, or we can mend

Terrorise 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 summer rise

I'll meet you in the air tonight

Fireflies

 

Fireflies

 

We can hurt, or we can mend

Terrorise or transcend

No beginning and no end

Yeah, we're alive
