fireflies

Lyrics

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, 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. 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, i slept in castles and fell in love
