Fireflies (Single Version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
To be the last to leave
The last to be gone
Stolen from the ones
Who held onto it
To be the last in the line
Oh, the ones that live on
Silhouette of a dream
Treasured by the ones
Who hung onto it
[Verse 2]
Almost a breakdown
Of our love affair
The stiletto cuts quick
Like a whip through the air
Long distance winners
Will we survive the flight?
Not one of us runs
From the firelight
[Chorus]
I would love to believe
I believe what you say
In the drama of the moment
Oh no, there is no easy way
No one ever leaves
Everyone stays close 'til the fire fades
To be the last to leave
The last to be gone
Stolen from the ones
Who held onto it
To be the last in the line
Oh, the ones that live on
Silhouette of a dream
Treasured by the ones
Who hung onto it
[Verse 2]
Almost a breakdown
Of our love affair
The stiletto cuts quick
Like a whip through the air
Long distance winners
Will we survive the flight?
Not one of us runs
From the firelight
[Chorus]
I would love to believe
I believe what you say
In the drama of the moment
Oh no, there is no easy way
No one ever leaves
Everyone stays close 'til the fire fades
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I would love to believe
I believe what you say
In the drama of the moment
Oh no, there is no easy way
No one ever leaves
Everyone stays close 'til the fire fades
[Verse 3]
To be the last to leave
What caused the fearsome
Divorce in the night?
There was no competition
Well, to survive do it right
Oh, you believe in the five
To survive the distance
Everyone fights
Everyone fights and the fire flies (Oh)
[Outro]
Ooh, like a sailing ship
Like a whip through the air
I would love to believe
I believe what you say
[Chorus]
I would love to believe
I believe what you say
In the drama of the moment
Oh no, there is no easy way
No one ever leaves
Everyone stays close 'til the fire fades
[Verse 3]
To be the last to leave
What caused the fearsome
Divorce in the night?
There was no competition
Well, to survive do it right
Oh, you believe in the five
To survive the distance
Everyone fights
Everyone fights and the fire flies (Oh)
[Outro]
Ooh, like a sailing ship
Like a whip through the air
I would love to believe
I believe what you say
