about

a slightly sad summer song

lyrics

we chase fireflies in grandfather's yard in our bare feet
catch them just to let them fly away
be careful and be gentle not to break their little wings
or they'll shine too bright

suppose we're all just little beams
sparks attempting to ignite
i suppose you know that we were meant for bigger things,
but for tonight

dry your tears, lift your eyes
we are smaller than the skies
see the bats, they fly in circles through the garden
fireflies rise from the grass,
a little light too bright to last
but only for a moment, let 'em shine
they ignite, little lights

the altar that he built out of an oak tree when you wed
sits under the dust in your garage
do you use it as a table, or forget that it exists
when he goes away?

suppose we're all just little beams
sparks attempting to ignite
i suppose you know that we were meant for bigger things,
but for tonight

dry your tears, lift your eyes
we are smaller than the skies
see the bats, they fly in circles through the garden
fireflies rise from the grass,
a little light too bright to last
but only for a moment, let 'em shine
they ignite, little lights

we chase fireflies in grandfather's yard
