Someone struck a match against the night
All I could see was you and I
It was captivating
A perfect little dream inside my head
And then reality crept in
And erased it
For a while I thought that I could hold you
But you were just a temporary high

Firefly
You drew me to you
Your beauty shines and lights up the sky
And you don't know it, do you
I wish I could keep you, firefly
Firefly

Some things are beautiful and free
And just never meant to be caged in
I thought I had you in my hand
I tried to catch you but I can't chase the wind
And every time I reach out to touch you
I remind myself you were meant to fly

Firefly
You drew me to you
Your beauty shines and lights up the sky
And you don't know it, do you
I wish I could keep you, firefly
Firefly

I'd like to think I'd be all that you wanted
Not even that is enough...

Firefly
You drew me to you
Your beauty shines and lights up the sky
And you don't know it, do you
I wish I could keep you, firefly
I wish I could keep you, firefly
Firefly...
