We were the summer and you were the fireflies
Dancing across the lawn across the street from where we fought
Where were the others when it was getting late
Calling us from the doors saying it's time to go to war
The clasp on the chain I gave you remains
Of the daylight stains your face me and say
I'm not the same, but you can't explain
As you board and fly away
We were uncovered, found on the underside
Where we both learned to crawl, rocks in the garden of my fault
Why did they bother showing us to our chairs
When we both know the roles, we don't make it to the applause
And the clasp on the chain I gave you remains
Of the daylight stains your face me and say
I'm not the same, but you can't explain
As you board and fly away, fly away
We were forever, now we are fireflies
Dancing across the lawn
Across the street from where we born
Across from where we fought the war
And the clasp on the chain I gave you remains
Of the daylight stains your face me and say
I'm not the same, but you can't explain
As you board and fly away
When the end is all that remains
And the edge has worn away
