Shimmer - The Flatmates

Don’t act surprised

'cause you realize

Nothing’s meant to last

You’re going way too fast

Count to ten, I’m turning back again

And my life has gone too fast

If your heart is going to crack

Fall apart like that

Did you ever guess

Someone could keep this mess

No, you can’t have it back

See me shimmer in the night

Like a firefly, burning bright

Shimmer, baby, shimmer

For your love

Well, I say

There’s one more every day

But you think it doesn’t pay

To treat you in that way

So you’ll laugh it up and turn away

Try to make the most of it

I see you’ll never appreciate

The truth that is in play

See me shimmer in the night

Like a firefly, burning bright

Shimmer, baby, shimmer

For your love

See me shimmer in the night

Like a firefly, burning bright

Shimmer, baby, shimmer

For your love

On a night that’s made for love

Look up to the stars above

There’s one, they say, for everyone

That comes out when the day has gone

But there’ll never be a star for you

Because of what you put me through

No, there’ll never be a star for you

'cause God knows what you put me through

See me shimmer in the night

Like a firefly, burning bright

Shimmer, baby, shimmer

For your love

See me shimmer in the night

Like a firefly, burning bright

Shimmer, baby, shimmer

For your love

For your love
