You... looked just like my mother   Did when she was 19   Not afraid to die   I... started planning our future   You were just 19   Still a firefly      You got... terrible vision   You shoulda seen I was leavin'   When I first appeared   I... got bit by the footlights   I got caught in the headlights   in any place but here      Never say   You'll never leave   Cuz you'll never know til you try   In a jar   fireflies   Only last for one night   Only last for one night      Trains roll... like gamblers in slow mo   Tryin' to find good luck   When they couldn't find love      Oh yeah, and I'm... gonna sleep on the train tracks   It's gonna be a peaceful night   Then it's gonna get rough      Never say   You'll never leave   Cuz you'll never know til you try   In a jar   fireflies   Only last for one night   Only last for one night      I must have had a reason for leavin'   - Not one I could see   I must have had a reason for leavin'   - Must have been me   - Must have been me...      You... looked just like my mother   Did when she was 19   Not afraid to die      For the last time... I'm not your mother   And I was only 19   Still a firefly
