You... you look like my mother

Did when she was nineteen

Not afraid to die

I... started planning our future

But you were just nineteen

Still a firefly

You... got terrible visions

Shoulda seen I was leaving

When I first appeared

But I... got bit by the footlights

I got caught in the headlights

Any place but here

Never say... you'll never leave

Cause you never know till you try

In a jar... a firefly

Only lasts for one night

Hateful... and heartbroken feelings

Come easy as a waitress

On a cool summer night

And I wonder... if there's any justice

Cause if there's supposed to be justice

Then something aint right

Yeah, trains roll... like gamblers in slo-mo

Trying to find justice

Cause I couldn't find love

I... wanna sleep on the train tracks

It's gonna be peaceful

It's gonna get rough

Never say... you'll never leave

Cause you never know till you try

In a jar... a firefly

Only lasts for one night

Only lasts for one night

You... you look like my mother

Did when she was nineteen

Not afraid to die

For the last time... I'm not your mother

Hell, I was only nineteen

Still a firefly
