Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Sinking, falling in too deep and I regret it
I don't know is all we have left to say
How do we pick ourselves up now
If the clouds bring the rain before we evaporate
I'll never be able to say
I love you
I love you, I love you
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes [x2]
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes [x2]
Thinking about all my regrets and contradictions
Where did I go?
I thought this was the right way
Do I learn to grow up now
Or just fade away under this tree of shame
Or will I be able to say
I love you, I love you
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes [x2]
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes [x2]
(break)
And all you do and all you say
Washes away - away with rain
And all you thought would never change
Washes away, it'll never be the same
'Cause all I see is and all I feel
Takes me away, takes me away
And all you do and all you say
Washes away - away with rain
And all you thought would never change
Washes away, it'll never be the same
Stay bright little fireflies
Make light before my eyes
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes
Wish I could love you
And I don't regret the rain
And now that I'm sinking
I will just say goodbye
I don't know is all we have left to say
How do we pick ourselves up now
If the clouds bring the rain before we evaporate
I'll never be able to say
I love you
I love you, I love you
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes [x2]
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes [x2]
Thinking about all my regrets and contradictions
Where did I go?
I thought this was the right way
Do I learn to grow up now
Or just fade away under this tree of shame
Or will I be able to say
I love you, I love you
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes [x2]
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes [x2]
(break)
And all you do and all you say
Washes away - away with rain
And all you thought would never change
Washes away, it'll never be the same
'Cause all I see is and all I feel
Takes me away, takes me away
And all you do and all you say
Washes away - away with rain
And all you thought would never change
Washes away, it'll never be the same
Stay bright little fireflies
Make light before my eyes
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes
Stay bright, little fireflies
Make light before my eyes
Wish I could love you
And I don't regret the rain
And now that I'm sinking
I will just say goodbye

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
i definitely hear a thrice influence in the instrumentation
