Lyrics
Verse 1
The streetlights bloom like dying stars
Along the empty avenue
And all the moths become white ghosts
Spinning circles through the blue
I hear the city breathing slow
Beneath a sky of faded grey
A thousand tiny sparks arise
And drift like memories away
Chorus
And the fireflies
Paint silver wounds across the night
Like forgotten dreams
That never learned to say goodbye
And I stand alone
Watching constellations come undone
As the fireflies
Burn softly one by one
Verse 2
The carousel of distant years
Still turns behind my tired eyes
Where summer never seemed to end
And every shadow felt alive
The moon hangs fragile over us
A lantern in a sea of black
And every flicker in the dark
Feels like something coming back
Chorus
And the fireflies
Paint silver wounds across the night
Like forgotten dreams
That never learned to say goodbye
And I stand alone
Watching constellations come undone
As the fireflies
Burn softly one by one
Bridge
If I could catch them in my hands
I'd keep their light for rainy days
But every glow was born to fade
And every heart to lose its way
Outro
So let them dance above the fields
Like secrets only darkness knows
And I'll remain beneath their glow
Until the last one slowly goes
