📝 Fireflies Lyrics – English

[Verse 1]
I can feel all I can know
I can feel the undertone
I can hear the river flow
Laughing at us as we go
The present and the vanishing
The divine in everything
In the air, your summer dress
Has left me floating

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can never keep a secret
Everything is always known
Nothing here is ever hidden
'Cause everything is always shown
I can never keep a secret
I don't know why I even try
We're looking through a sky of mirrors
To see ourselves tonight

[Chorus]
'Cause you and I are fireflies
Born for the summer skies
The light that's in each other's eyes
Fireflies
You and I are fireflies
Forgetting that the sun will rise
I'll meet you in the air tonight
Fireflies

[Post-Chorus]
Fireflies

[Verse 2]
We can hurt, or we can mend
Terrorize or transcend
No beginning and no end
Yeah, we'll survive

[Verse 3]
Like falling angels bound to Earth
Voices sing for all their worth
All I need is a pen that works
But it's a story without words
Of how the night will set us free
Take us where we need to be
Your winking eyes are all I need
To feel alive

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can never keep a secret
Everything is always known
Nothing here is ever hidden
'Cause everything is always shown
I can never keep a secret
I don't know why I even try
We're looking through a sky of mirrors
To see ourselves tonight

[Chorus]
'Cause you and I are fireflies
Born for the summer skies
The light that's in each other's eyes
Fireflies
You and I are fireflies
Forgetting that the sun will rise
I'll meet you in the air tonight
Fireflies

[Post-Chorus]
Fireflies

[Outro]
We can hurt, or we can mend
Terrorize or transcend
No beginning and no end
Yeah, we're alive
