Fireflies lyrics

After the ball dropped on New Years Eve I'm barefoot and running down Swallow Street My head is bleeding, I'm unaware I start blacking out, and I'm losing air I thought that I'd grow up and grow out of this I fall in love like a nervous tick I gave you the one thing you could not have earned The years of my youth you can not return The only thing I know for sure This has to do with you and her You wrote this script, I lived in it, so take a bow And look me in the eye and say you're proud My captor and my rescue, you played them well Tonight I will escape all by myself As I lie down in the frozen street I see that your shadow lies next to me This memory comes from a clear summer night There's an ocean of fireflies swimming in the sky I'm dead or dreaming, I don't care But leave my body resting here You wrote this script, I lived in it, so take a bow And look me in the eye and say you're proud My captor and my rescue, you played them well Tonight I will escape all by myself Life moves slowly and suddenly Life moves slowly and suddenly A lifetime ago, in the blink of an eye I sat down beside you on a clear summer night I start letting go and concede to the sky And breathe in and out just a couple more times Life moves slowly and suddenly
