Old 97s - Firefly lyrics

You looked like my mother did when she was nineteen

not afraid to die

I started planning our future

but you were just nineteen

still a firefly

You got terrible vision

shoulda seen I was leavin' when I first appeared

But I, I got bit by the front lights

I got caught in the headlights

headed any place but here

Never say you'll never leave

cause you never know till you try

in a jar of fireflys

only last for one night

Hateful and heartbroked feelings come easy as a waitress on a cool summer night

And I wonder if there's any justice

Cause if there's suppossed to be justice something aint right

It's rains roll like gamblers in somo

trying to find justice cause he couldn't love

ah yeah, I, I want to sleep on the train tracks

It's gonna be peaceful

It's gonna get rough

Never say you'll never leave cause you never know till you try

in a jar of fireflys

only last for one night

only last for one night

You look like my mother did when she was nineteen

not afraid to die

for the last time I'm not your mother

hell I was only nineteen

still a firefly
