Fireflies Lyrics
First full moon
Summer comes, it took so long...
The fields are green
Lie and wait for me to run
And fall to the ground
Just see those stars
See the trees bend down to catch you up
It's a strange night, blue skies in May
And if you're coming out tonight
See the waves of dancing fireflies
See the way we end these sullen summer nights
A winter sky opens up and pours out
White paper on a frozen ground
To still a lie
Piled with leaves, cracked
The coves fade from red to brown
The seasons are dead and gone
Just see those stars
I feel them looking down
It's strange how they never fade away
They never left us in the night
Packed their things and caught the train
Hopped aboard and waved goodbye, "Wish I could stay."
"Wish I could..."
Just see those stars...
I feel you looking down
Strange how you never seem to change
Now the lift
Passin' our lives
To find our hope, in dark and light
To find our hope in a starless sky
When it seems like all is lost, open your eyes
Open your eyes
Summer comes, it took so long...
Lie and wait for me to run
And fall to the ground
See the trees bend down to catch you up
It's a strange night, blue skies in May
And if you're coming out tonight
See the waves of dancing fireflies
See the way we end these sullen summer nights
White paper on a frozen ground
To still a lie
Piled with leaves, cracked
The coves fade from red to brown
The seasons are dead and gone
I feel them looking down
It's strange how they never fade away
They never left us in the night
Packed their things and caught the train
Hopped aboard and waved goodbye, "Wish I could stay."
"Wish I could..."
I feel you looking down
Strange how you never seem to change
Passin' our lives
To find our hope, in dark and light
To find our hope in a starless sky
When it seems like all is lost, open your eyes
Open your eyes

A few things...
1) I realize these lyrics are off--big time. I had to go by ear with low quality headphones, and even lower quality recording. So...if anyone can help me out, it'd be greatly appreciated.
2) I'm sad no one else has posted for this band. I really liked them when they were together. Sure, their break-up led to Quiet Science--which I LOVE--but still.
3) I think this song is about change, and trying to cope with those changes....just trying to see the good in it all--the things that will never change--and not focus on the negative.
