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 nowWe can't go to sleep 'cause we'll wake up older
We can't let these nights steal away half our livesAnd 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 streetYeah, the sun is running too
Being chased off by the moon
And we should go to bed
But we'll catch fireflies insteadAnd 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 awayOh, just stay awake with me
Won't you stay awake with me?
Oh, stay awake with meWe can't go to sleep 'cause we'll wake up older
We can't let these nights, oh steal away
And I don't want these days to ever be over
We can't let these nights steal away half our lives
