Firefly

Nobody owes you nothing

So goodness can take you by surprise

Well that's all that she knows when she knows him

And sees her mistakes in his eyes

Now he'll sit and he'll drink in the darkness

And drink til he can't drink no more

The hum of the summer around him

And his feet on linoleum floors

And the glow of his cigarette is a firefly

The words in his head are a dream

The sound of her breath is a lullabye

And the truth it ain't always what it seems

He don't like the way he's been feeling

Well his daddy always told him to be kind

He'll watch her undress for the evening

And he'll wish he could live there in her mind

But you can't ask a woman to be someone

she ain't meant to be all on her own

and you can't ask for more than what's coming

you can't leave a good love alone

And the glow of his cigarette is a firefly

The words in his head are a dream

The sound of her breath is a lullabye

And the truth it ain't always what it seems
