Fireflies Songtext
von Candice Night

Before you met me I was a faerie princess
I caught frogs and called them friends
And made myself the queen
Before you knew me I′d travelled '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 Tinkerbell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell

I believe in fairytales
And dreamers dreams
Like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles
And anything I can to get by
On fireflies


Before I grew up I saw you on a cloud
I could bless myself in your name
And pat you on your wings
Before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
"Life is hard and so is love, child
Believe in all these things"

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinkerbell
They were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tell

I believe in fairytales
And dreamers dreams
Like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan
And miracles
And anything I can to get by
On fireflies
On fireflies

Before you met me I was a faerie princess
I caught frogs and called them friends
And made myself the queen
Before you knew me I′d travelled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love
Because I was taught to dream
