Fireflies Lyrics – Marrick Smith
Singer: Marrick Smith
Title: Fireflies
I’m a cop kid, nic faced dick, just avoiding the gallows
They don’t make anything good south of the Verrazano
You can have a white picket fence, with some white looking friends
City pension til you die
Chase that whiskey with a beer as the months turn into years
Never asking why
You can’t keep the fireflies
Cause they’ll just die
And yes butterflies
Flashing neon lights
You can’t chase the fireflies
Cause other people’s lives
Will always look better than mine
Better than mine (better than mine)
Better than mine (better than mine)
I’m a lying sack of sh#t, they say
Who can’t be good for a woman
But I can look the Lord straight in the eye and say
Screw you, I’ll show them
I don’t need a white picket fence or white looking friends
I’ll find a pension of my own
The island’s always where I’m from
But I think it’s time to come to terms with all I’ve been shown
You can’t keep the fireflies
Cause they’ll just die
And yes butterflies
Flashing neon lights
You can’t chase your fireflies
Cause other people’s lives
Will always look better than mine
I wanna meet my wife
I wanna have her child
Still want this life
It drives me wild
I wanna drink less
But not feel so cold
I wanna love to last me til I’m very old
I want it all
Can I have it all?
I want it all
Why can’t I have it all?
I want it all (You can’t chase the fireflies)
Why can’t I have it all? (Cause they’ll just die)
I want it all (And yes butterflies)
Why can’t I have it all? (Flashing neon lights)
I want it all (You can’t chase the fireflies)
Why can’t I have it all? (Cause they’ll just die)
I want it all (And yes butterflies)
Why can’t I have it all? (Flashing neon lights)
I want it all (You can’t chase the fireflies)
Why can’t I have it all? (Cause they’ll just die)
I want it all (And yes butterflies)
Why can’t I have it all? (Flashing neon lights)
I want it all (You can’t chase the fireflies)
Why can’t I have it all? (Cause they’ll just die)
I want it all (And yes butterflies)
Why can’t I have it all? (Flashing neon lights)
I want it all (You can’t chase the fireflies)
Why can’t I have it all? (Cause they’ll just die)
I want it all (And yes butterflies)
Why can’t I have it all? (Flashing neon lights)
You can’t keep the fireflies
Cause they’ll just die
And yes butterflies
Flashing neon lights
You can’t keep the fireflies
Cause they’ll just die
And yes butterflies
Flashing neon lights
