FIREFLIES (Lyric Video)

Lyrics: bare feet in the backyard, grass stains on my jeans jar lid in my fingers, chasing little glowing dreams you laugh in the dark there, breath fog in the cool night we miss more than we’re catching, still our faces shine with light fireflies in my hands blink out before I can see every time that I think I understand they slip right through me hold on hold on to the flicker not the plan if I can’t keep the fireflies i’ll just dance where I stand (oh yeah) your phone buzzes, you hide it say you’re staying for a while moon leans on the rooftop can’t compete with your crooked smile we talk about leaving, big maps, small courage tiny lights between fingers, sudden hope, quiet urge fireflies in my hands blink out before I can see every time that I think I understand they slip right through me hold on hold on to the flicker not the plan if I can’t keep the fireflies i’ll just dance where I stand (oh yeah) what if this is all we get this one backyard this one night would it be enough to just forget, every deadline, every fight let them land on our sleeves, tiny lanterns on our skin we can lose them in the trees but keep the way it felt within fireflies in my hands blink out before I can see every time that I think I understand they slip right through me hold on hold on to the flicker not the plan if I can’t keep the fireflies i’ll remember where we ran if I can’t keep the fireflies i’ll just dance where I stand #prince #fireflies
