Fireflies In A Steel Mill Lyrics - Singles - The Elected

She ran hard 

And her feet felt nothin' 

A giant river twistin' to the top of the hill 

And fell down hard 

And man, it hurt 

And bruised her body 

On the rocks and the dirt 

See to her this just feels weird, and very very very sad 

But she won't cry 

She won't laugh 

She'll come home baby, if you take it all back 

If you take it all back 

And it was hard 

When he told her 

Those ideas that never get finished 

Well, that's what we are 

We're like the places 

You just never see 

You'd read about them, you know you'd love 'em 

That's how you fell in love with me 

And to him that just seems weird 

and very, very, very sad 

But don't cry 

Don't laugh 

Would you come home baby, if I take it all back? 

'Cause I can take it all back 

And I've heard that we can be fulfilled, 

Like fireflies in a steel mill 

We got fresh, pressed, linens on the floor 

But the landlord's at the door, 

Saying, your check's signed in a disappearing ink 

Your gold has broken all my teeth, 

And this past Christmas, the air was too dry, 

We set fire to the wreath 

But we were warm and dry beneath 

This is the last time you'll do this to me
