Fireflies & Shooting Stars

Fireflies & Shooting Stars

1. Fireflies & Shooting Stars

Fireflies & Shooting Stars

(verse 1)

being outside underneath the stars

was a good date idea, my honey

being with you and seeing how you are

making me laugh at shrewd things that are funny

 

where will we go next from here, my honey?

or can we stay here a little longer in nature

your jacket over my shoulders

being giddy because I’m happy

 

(chorus)

wondering if astronauts go surfing on the Milky Way

does the Andromeda galaxy ever come out to play?

what I thought was twinkling shining stars, it’s not what they are

you whisper underneath the foliage up to the sky

“it’s a rain shower of fireflies”

(end chorus)

 

(verse 2)

in the last minutes of our romantic date, my honey

you pull out your lighter and pretend it’s a candle

and my heart glides because I’m rich with no money

 

use my lap as a pillow on this gingham picnic blanket, my honey

I run my fingers through your hair for communication

and I wish this moment in time

could be a vacation

 

(chorus)

pretending to close my eyes and make wishes

you keep your hands steady on my heartbeat

and just as I feel the summer heat

you say to me kind of bizarre

“look up, a shooting star!”

(end chorus)

 

(chorus)

wondering if astronauts go surfing on the Milky Way

does the Andromeda galaxy ever come out to play?

what I thought was twinkling shining stars, it’s not what they are

you whisper underneath the foliage up to the sky

“it’s a rain shower of fireflies”

(end chorus)
