Firefly Lyrics - Old 97's

You looked like my mother did when she was nineteen 

not afraid to die 

I started planning our future 

but you were just nineteen 

still a firefly 

You got terrible vision 

shoulda seen I was leavin' when I first appeared 

But I, I got bit by the footlights 

I got caught in the headlights 

headed any place but here 

Never say you'll never leave 

cause you never know till you try 

in a jar of fireflys 

only last for one night 

Hateful and heartbroked feelings come easy as a waitress on a cool summer night 

And I wonder if there's any justice 

Cause if there's suppossed to be justice something aint right 

It's trains roll like gamblers in slo-mo 

trying to find justice cause he couldn't love 

ah yeah, I, I want to sleep on the train tracks 

It's gonna be peaceful 

It's gonna get rough 

Never say you'll never leave cause you never know till you try 

in a jar of fireflys 

only last for one night 

only last for one night 

You look like my mother did when she was nineteen 

not afraid to die 

for the last time I'm not your mother 

hell I was only nineteen 

still a firefly
