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
