Catching Fireflies

My baby told me, "You gotta get better if you ever wanna win" And I know that she's not getting any better man, she just sins I still love her, 'cause I know I was once there wearing them shoes I'm still hurting 'cause the woman I love, is giving me the blues I'm sitting here sober, but I wonder what shape she'll find me in I need her under my skin like a junkie needs heroin And I'm never going back to Snake n' Jake's The amount of money I spent, I could've bought the place Not to mention that they know my face Now it's hell getting out the place So I'm walking the streets tonight I'm catching some fireflies Someone said that I'm living a lie But no more today, no more tonight You could say that I'm under the gun Nine million miles away from the sun I've hesitated much too long But I'm still having fun, hope you're having fun Belly up in an ambulance, I spent Sunday making doctor friends I could've used a pair of deep hands I hope that made you laugh, 'cause you know I'm a gentleman Heaven found me living, didn't find me dead Got a permanent ash mark on my forehead But it still couldn't save me from lying in bed Staring at your clothes in the closet while I was out of my head So I'm walking the streets tonight I'm catching some fireflies Some would say that I'm living a lie But no more today, no more tonight And you could say that I'm under the gun Nine million miles away from the sun I've hesitated much too long But I'm still having fun, hope you're having fun, yeah I'm a peaceful man today Ain't got no more weekend wars to wage So give me one more shot babe, shot babe Well, I'm a peaceful man today Ain't got no more weekend wars to wage So give me one more shot babe, shot babe, shot babe
