Fireflies - Lori McKenna

Before you met me, I was a fairy princess

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

Before you knew me, I traveled around the world

I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top

To capture Tinkerbell

And 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

And 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 pat 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»

I found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top

To capture Tinkerbell

And 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

And anything I can to get by

And fireflies

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 around the world

And I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream
