Fireflies Lyrics

Orange moon lies low
Up against a western sky
Soon we’ll see all our troubles disappear
Underneath it’s watchful eye
Meet me darkwiler. Tonight.
We’ll watch the waves roll in and the planes roll on by

We’ll build a bonfire and laugh at all life’s crazy twists and turns.
Bonfire; and as the flames flicker burn out bright
We’re fireflies tonight.

Someone bring an old guitar. I’ve got some friend who likes to play
And I’m gunna wear a fuzzy cap that says ‘L.A.’
We glow in flashes all the day around
But you should see us when the sun goes down

We build a bonfire and laugh at all life’s crazy twists and turns.
Bonfire; and as the flames flicker burn out bright
We’re fireflies tonight. Yeah hey-yeah..

Meet me darkwiler tonight
We’ll watch the waves roll in and the planes -
They go so low on their way to the sky

Bonfire, yeah laugh at all life’s crazy twists and turns.
Bonfire; and as the flames flicker burn out bright
We’re fireflies… tonight. Yeah hey-yeah..

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song, it always makes me think of summer nights on the beach with friends.

One minor correction:

I think "meet me darkwiler. tonight." should be "meet me at Dockweiler tonight"

Dockweiler Beach State Park‎ is a beach in LA, right next to the airport, which would tie in with the lyrics about watching planes.
