Fireflies Lyrics by Aaron Abel

2024

(verse)
When I was young I was afraid of the dark
Imagined monsters lurking in the yard
But getting old I learned the lesson hard
They look different when you’re grown

In the creek down the street catching crawfish
Sneaking out to meet the neighbor having my first kiss
A few years later man it turned out she’s a lesbian
You just don’t know til you know
Some things you just don’t know til you know

(chorus)
Please don’t wait for me, I’ll be inside
One more minute with the summer sky
Catch my breath looking at days gone by
Growing up and catching fireflies

(verse)
We were dreaming big and bright then life got in the way
Way before I was smoking down every day
Way before I knew that everyone has dues to pay
Time takes everything

(chorus)
Please don’t wait for me, I’ll be inside
One more minute with the summer sky
Catch my breath looking at days gone by
Growing up and catching fireflies

(verse)
Watched you fade into the maple trees
Pushing daisies but I’m on my feet
I remember crying on my knees
That’s how life goes I guess
Lord I’m sorry I did what I could
But looking backwards never did much good
Some kids don’t make it into adulthood
That’s how life goes I guess

(chorus)
Please don’t wait for me, I’ll be inside
One more minute with that different time
Catch my breath looking at days gone by
Growing up and catching fireflies
Please don’t wait for me, I’ll be inside
One more minute in that different time
Catch my breath looking at days gone by
Growing up and catching fireflies
Please don’t wait for me, I’ll be inside
One more minute with that different time
Catch my breath looking at days gone by
Growing up and catching fireflies
