Oh I want every second of the minutes in the hours of these days   Cause there's too many trees to climb    And secret spots to find down by the lake   Oh the fireflies are out and momma's calling now      We can't go to sleep cause we'll wake up older   We can't let these nights steal away half our lives      And we will spend our days finding helpless competition to defeat   Yeah we'll chase away the girls and pretend    that we don't want 'em on our street   Yeah the sun is running too   Being chased off by the moon    And we should go to bed but we'll catch fireflies instead      We can't go to sleep cause we'll wake up older   We can't let these nights steal away   And I don't want these days to ever be over   We can't let these nights just steal away      Oh just stay awake with me   Won't you stay awake with me   Oh stay awake with me      We can't go to sleep cause we'll wake up older   We can't let these nights steal away   And I don't want these days to ever be over   We can't let these nights steal away half our lives
