Lyrics
|
|
To be the last to leave, the last to be gone,
|
stolen from the ones who hung on to it.
|
|
To be the last in line, the ones that live on,
|
silhouette of a dream, treasured by the ones
|
.. who hung on to it.
|
|
Almost a breakdown of our love affair,
|
the stiletto cuts quick, like a whip through the air.
|
Long distance winners .. where we survive the flight,
|
not one of us runs .. from the firelight.
|
|
I would love to believe .. I believe what you say.
|
In the drama of the moment, oh, there's no easy way.
|
No one ever leaves. Every one stays .. close till the fire .. fades.
|
|
To be the last to leave; what caused the fearsome ..
|
divorce in the night, there was no competition.
|
To survive do it right. You believe in the five.
|
To survive the distance, everyone fights.
|
Everyone fights .. and the fireflies.
|
|
At the risk of my feelings .. dreamers in the night.
|
Some call it our nightmare, and my five fireflies.
|
Like a sailing ship, not one of us runs.
|
Everyone stays .. and the fire never fades........
