Cover art for Fireflies lyrics by Chris Garneau

It's not easy, so take it slow. You're coming up. You're coming round the bend. You're my good friend. Best friend. And you're coming up, you're coming round the bend

I feel Chris is talking to someone, a best friend, who is 'coming around the bend' or accepting either that he, himself is gay, or that Chris is.

You're making friends with the fireflies. I can't say that that comes as a surprise. But the things they say are not what they seem, So you've been called to tell us what they mean. Yes, you've been called to tell us what they mean.

Fireflies is a nice term for faghags. Thus, if he's his best friend, making friends with other friends isn't weird. OR, he's obviously gay, so it's not weird or unexpected. BUT, they're gossipy 'The things they sat are not what they seem.'

It's a plot though, I told you so. I'm wising up. I'm wising up to them. They say, "My good friends. Best friends." But I'm wising up. I'm wising up to them.

The 'fireflies' are attempting to get them together. A plot. But he's realizing.

You're making friends with the fireflies. You know when they die their light stays alive. And the things they say are not what they seem, So you've been called to tell us what they mean. Yes, you've been called to tell us what they mean.

There's a crap load of gossip now, even when they and the fireflies are no longer friends, it still follows them around.
