Fireflies Lyrics by Dave Hause

Kick

2019

[Verse 1]
I've got a sepia-toned Polaroid of you from days gone by
You look so good in shades, but I wish I could see your eyes
Shining bright right back at me like you saw something in mine
Lighting up the August night like dizzy fireflies
If we saved a thousand dollars back then, we knew we would be fine
We'd sneak into the golf course back when all we had was time
We’d lie under the fireflies and drink a box of wine
Long before you wanted more and this whole world lost its mind
This whole world lost its mind

[Chorus]
Can you meet me there tonight?
I don’t want nothing but your hand in mine
Like when we were young and wild-eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Lit under the fireflies

[Verse 2]
If I could double up my salary next year, we might afford a house
I could work away my fingerprints, grind the teeth out of my mouth
You said if we can't find our hope we'll end up living by our fear
But every day seems less okay, and it hasn't been our year
I’m older now and all I know how is to work to see your face
Smiling proud, knowing we carved out some tiny little space
This clock just keeps on ticking, we can't seem to slow it down
Let's kick against the current, and I'll hold you if we drown
I'll hold you if we drown

[Chorus]
Can you meet me there tonight?
I don’t want nothing but your hand in mine
Like when we were young and wild-eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Lit under the fireflies

[Chorus]
Would you meet me there tonight?
I don’t want nothing but your hand in mine
Like when we were young and wild-eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time

[Outro]
Meet me there tonight
Meet me there tonight
Right when we were young and wild-eyed
We had nothing but plenty of time
Lit under the fireflies
Lit under the fireflies
Lit under the fireflies
