Fireflies

And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye

To capture Tinker Bell
And dreamer's dreams like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles
Before you met me I was a fairy princess
Anything I can to get by and fireflies, fireflies
And they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
I believe in fairy tales
I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings
To capture Tinker Bell
But I could always tell
I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream
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 found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
But I could always tell
I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
And dreamer's dreams like bedsheet sails
Well life is hard and so is love child, believe in all these things

And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
I believe in fairy tales

And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen

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