Fireflies

To be the last to leave, the last to be gone
Stolen from the ones who held onto him
To the last in the line, the last to hang on
Silhouette of a dream treasured by the one
Who hung onto him

Almost a breakdown of my love affair
The stiletto cuts quick, like a whip through the air
Long distance winners, we survive the fight
No one ever runs from the firelight

I would love to believe
I believe what you say
The drama of the moment, oh no there is no easy way
No one ever leaves 'til the fire fades

To be the last to leave
What caused the fearsome divorce in the night?
No competition
To survive the distance, to survive the fight
Not one of us runs from the firelight
My fireflies

The firelight at the end of my feelings
The risk of my feelings
Dreamers in the night
Some call it my nightmare
My fine fireflies, like a sailing ship
No one ever runs from the fireflies
