[00:10.61]When the street lights come on
[00:13.43]and the fireflies flicker
[00:15.96]I am walking her home
[00:19.19]Making plans
[00:21.69]With her shoes in her hands
[00:24.44]I am watching her dance
[00:27.43]As the hem of her dress gently kisses the grass
[00:35.59]
[00:40.45]It suddenly rains on us
[00:44.03]She is laughing and turns up her hands
[00:51.06]Like autumn turns leaves
[00:54.43]Winter will breathe cold on our necks
[00:59.76]Snow in our paths
[01:02.59]Wherever she goes
[01:05.49]All that I know about us is
[01:09.13]that beautiful things never last
[01:12.90]That's why fireflies flash
[01:19.42]
[01:25.40]When this summer time ends
[01:28.51]we will not part as friends
[01:30.83]Things were promised in blood
[01:33.71]We have sinned
[01:36.66]Now there's tears in her eyes
[01:39.54]as she's screaming goodbyes
[01:42.10]I run 'long side the car
[01:44.98]Turning numb to the sound
[01:49.99]
[01:55.45]I notice a chill in the air
[01:59.05]September is creeping up fast
[02:04.76]
[02:05.76]Like autumn turns leaves
[02:09.24]Winter will breathe cold on our necks
[02:14.49]Snow in our paths
[02:17.42]Wherever she goes
[02:20.35]All that I know about us is
[02:23.91]that beautiful things never last
[02:27.76]That's why fireflies flash
[02:33.65]
[02:36.06]Innocence didn't mean we're immune to these things
[02:41.51]Let's blame the passage of time
[02:45.49]
[02:47.05]Love and loss
[02:48.28]Truth
[02:48.84]It costs more than I can spare right now
[02:52.20]Maybe it's simpler to lie
[02:56.96]
[02:58.38]Like autumn turns leaves
[03:01.81]Winter will breathe cold on our necks
[03:07.07]Snow in our paths
[03:09.93]Wherever she goes
[03:12.98]All that I know about us is
[03:16.55]that beautiful things never last
[03:20.38]That's why fireflies flash
[03:27.82]
[03:31.04]That's why fireflies flash
[03:37.57]
[03:38.71]Oh
[03:39.66]Oh
