Fireflies Lyrics - Singles - Violents

After the ball dropped on New Years Eve, 

I'm barefoot and running down Swallow Street. 

My head is bleeding; I'm unaware. 

I start blacking out, and I'm losing air. 

I thought that I'd grow up and grow out of this. 

I fall in love like a nervous tick. 

I gave you the one thing you could not have earned: 

The years of my youth you can not return. 

The only thing I know for sure, 

This has to do with you and her. 

You wrote this script, I lived in it, so take a bow 

And look me in the eye and say you're proud. 

My captor and my rescue, you have played them well. 

Tonight I will escape all by myself. 

As I lie down in the frozen street, 

I see that your shadow lies next to me. 

This memory comes from a clear summer night. 

There's an ocean of fireflies swimming the sky. 

I'm dead or dreaming, I don't care, 

But leave my body resting here. 

You wrote this script, I lived in it, so take a bow 

And look me in the eye and say you're proud. 

My captor and my rescue, you have played them well. 

Tonight I will escape all by myself. 

Life moves slowly and suddenly. 

Life moves slowly and suddenly. 

A lifetime ago, in the blink of an eye, 

I sat down beside you on a clear summer night. 

Life moves slowly and suddenly. 

I start letting go and concede to the sky 

And breathe in and out just a couple more times. 

Life moves slowly and suddenly.
