Summer dusk the air's like honey
We're kicking dust on a backroad chasing lightning bugs
You swore you saw a gleam in the weeds
Now we're cupping the sky with our grass-stained knees

Jar lids twist but the glass stays cracked
Tiny lanterns flickerhere then gone then back
You laugh and say "They're just borrowed stars"
But I count each glow… like healing scars

Oh we're rebels in a galaxy too small to keep
Trading tomorrows for the rush beneath our feet
The night's a velvet curtain we're actors in disguise
Hold too tight… and the magic dies

Fireflies fireflies light the way tonight
Dance in the shadows vanish in the light
We're embers in a jar a flash in the sky
Let it blaze… then wave goodbye
Wave goodbyeoh-oh-oh

Morning comes with its fluorescent lies
Our jar's just echoes and a ache in my eyes
You text "They're free now" but I still see
Their phantom trails in the willow tree

Oh we're rebels in a galaxy too small to keep
Trading tomorrows for the rush beneath our feet
The night's a velvet curtain we're actors in disguise
Hold too tight… and the magic dies

Fireflies fireflies light the way tonight
Dance in the shadows vanish in the light
We're embers in a jar a flash in the sky
Let it blaze… then wave goodbye

Let the crickets chant our requiem let the wind rewrite
Every "what if" that we clutched too tight
Maybe joy's a waltz not a chain to own
A flicker in the dark… but how it shone

Fireflies fireflies… light the way tonight…
Vanish in the light…
We're embers in a jar… a flash in the sky…
Wave goodbye oh-oh-oh
