fireflies

Before you met me I was a fairy princess

I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen

And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world

I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top

To capture Tinker Bell

And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye

But I could always tell

I believe in fairy tales

And dreamer's dreams like bedsheet sails

And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles

Anything I can to get by and fireflies

Before I grew up I saw you on a cloud

I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings

And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud

Well life is hard and so is love child, believe in all these things

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top

To capture Tinker Bell

And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye

But I could always tell

I believe in fairy tales

And dreamer's dreams like bedsheet sails

And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles

Anything I can to get by and fireflies, fireflies

Before you met me I was a fairy princess

I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen

And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world

And I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream
