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
