When she's curled in his arms
Entangled and warm
She thinks, sometimes
That it cannot last
That it cannot last

In the window as the earth goes round
And the air gets thin in the lungs and the hearts of lonely men
Young to old pretend that they live forever
Jewels of the soul that turn into the worst terror
It ain't an error Lord they brighten the skies
Walking with the light in their eyes like fireflies
She hold her love like a statue pose
And he ain't even got a kiss from a rose
So will they let it glow

They never felt it
They never felt it
They never felt it before
Never, never

They'd never let it
They'd never let it
They'd never let it wither
Never, never

They'd never sever
They'd never sever
They'd never want to sever
Never never
We talk about fireflies, fireflies, fireflies, fireflies

One day he'll leave
Or she may go
Away
As long as they stay
Let it be so
Let it be so

He traveled many roads in this land to touch her hand
And experience the love of child woman and man
Together they stand connected talking about this plan
Feeling that the world can't hide, can it all survive
Ah moment in time becomes one in the mind
Ability to open her heart and let it all combine
The strangest life that a couple will find
With rain clouds that be floating around under the sunshine

They never felt it
They never felt it
They never felt it before
Never, never

They'd never let it
They'd never let it
They'd never let it wither
Never, never

They'd never sever
They'd never sever
They'd never want to sever
Never never
We talk about fireflies, fireflies, fireflies, fireflies
Inside of your eyes

As fleeting as a firefly
With the beat of a wing
It could die
The light ending
With its life
With its life

Truth they feeling never lie's ain't it special ya'll
Sitting by the room waiting for that one to call
Selling themselves for life change the aim
The love a color flame straight from the heaven man
How it hang coming together, but can't explain
Ah warm feeling out of control so maintain
And leave a legacy of further intertwine
Moving along with fluttery patterns of fireflies

They never felt it
They never felt it
They never felt it before
Never, never

They'd never let it
They'd never let it
They'd never let it wither
Never, never

They'd never sever
They'd never sever
They'd never want to sever
Never never
We talk about fireflies, fireflies, fireflies
Inside of your eyes
