Could evolution tell the story of dragonflies and former glories?

Oh, eventually

There's someone else swimming in the water

Looking down on their toddlers

Oh life goes quickly

These generations, they come and go

We're growing up now, we're growing old

Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down

The measure of the life we live

The love we take and the love we give

Oh, those mayflies, those mayflies

I wanna love you for the lives of a million mayflies

You and me, you and me, baby

I wanna love you for the lives of a million mayflies

You and me, you and me, baby

We study the past for the future

But Aristotle means nothing to you

Old books on the shelf

The world we know as the mayfly grows

It quickly comes and it quickly goes

Oh, life's mystery

We build our wings and learn to fly

We tear 'em apart, again we try

Lay down, lay down, lay down, lay down

The measure of the life we live

The love we take and the love we give

Oh, those mayflies, those mayflies

I wanna love you for the lives of a million mayflies

You and me, you and me, baby

I wanna love you for the lives of a million mayflies

You and me, you and me, baby

So the story goes

From the water they grow

Life moves quickly

And they give it all up for one shot at love

Wouldn't you do the same?

I wanna love you, I wanna love you

I wanna love you, I wanna love you

I wanna love you, baby, I wanna love you, baby

I wanna love you, baby, I wanna love you
