Fireflies (feat. Rachael Yamagata)

Rhett:

You looked like my mother

Did when she was 19, not afraid to die

I started planning our future

But you were just 19, still a firefly

Rachael:

You got terrible vision

Shoulda seen I was leavin' when I first appeared

I got bit by the foot lights

I got caught in the headlights, any place but here

Both:

Never say you'll never leave

'Cause you never know till you try

In a jar, fireflies

Only last for one night

Only last for one night

Rachael:

Trains roll like gamblers in slow-mo

Trying to find good luck, where they couldn't find love

Rhett:

Oh yeah, and I, I'm gonna sleep on the train tracks

It's gonna be peaceful, it's gonna get rough

Both:

Never say you'll never leave

'Cause you never know till you try

In a jar, fireflies

Only last for one night

Only last for one night

Both: I must have had a reason for leavin'

Rhett: Not one I could see

Both: I must have had a reason for leavin'

Rhett: Must have been me

Both: Must have been me

Rhett:

You looked like my mother

Did when she was 19, not afraid to die

Rachael:

For the last time I'm not your mother

Hell, I was only nineteen

I'm still a firefly
