Fireflies

Every bird flies away

From their mommy one day

Do you think they get nervous to fly?

No more food in the nest

No more breakfast in bed

One day it's on you to catch the rest

Hey, you're gonna work yourself to death

Why don't you get that through your head

Before the summer

So we can say

What do you wanna do today

Let's live our lives for something other than the weekend

As he watches the waves

From up high every day

Does he ever stop to catch his breath

Hey, you're gonna work yourself to death

Why don't you get that through your head

Before the summer

So we can say

What do you wanna do today

Let's live our lives for something other than the weekend

But the weekend's all I've ever really known

And the pieces I will pick up on my own

For you, I'm going under

For you, I do my time

For you, I'm going under

Cause it's time I finally learn to get it right

Hey, you're gonna work yourself to death

Why don't you get that through your head

Before the summer

So we can say

You look wonderful today

Now let's live our lives for something other than the weekend

But the weekend's all I've ever really known

And the pieces I will pick up on my own

For you, I'm going under

For you, I do my time

For you, I'm gonna steal that thunder

Cause it's time I finally learn to get it right
