Fireflies

Before you met me I was a fairy princess

I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen

Before you knew me I traveled round the world

I slept in castles and fell in love

Because I was taught to dream



[Chorus]

I found mayonnaise bottles and

Poked holes on top to capture Tinkerbell

They were just fireflies to the untrained eye

But I could always tell

I believe in fairytales

And dreamers dreams like bed sheet sails

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 could bless myself in your name

And patch you on your wings

Before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud,

"Life is hard and so is love, child, believe in all these things"



[Chorus]

I found mayonnaise bottles and

Poked holes on top to capture Tinkerbell

They were just fireflies to the untrained eye

But I could always tell

I believe in fairytales

And dreamers dreams like bed sheet sails

And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles

Anything I can to get by

And fireflies....

Fireflies



[25 second vocal break]



Before you met me I was a fairy princess

I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen

Before you knew me I traveled round the world

And I slept in castles and fell in love

Because I was taught to dream
