Here in the dark, I won’t even make a spark.
|
You’re the only one who’s never seen
|
The way I can light up in shades of gold and green.
|
I’m just a little firefly, I want to shine for you but I’m too shy,
|
So when you come around I hide my light.
|
But when you go away I shine for you all night.
|
|
Out there in the sun, I’d open up for anyone.
|
You’re the only one who closes me
|
Because I want to be the brightest thing you’ve ever seen.
|
I’m just a little dandelion, I want to blossom but I’m scared of trying,
|
So I hide my head when you come into the room.
|
But when you go away I come right into bloom.
|
|
And I can’t look down, I’m way too high,
|
And I can’t look up, into your eyes.
|
|
Well I never was afraid to sing out loud, in front of anybody, any crowd.
|
You, you make me lose my nerve
|
Feel like something more than I could ever deserve.
|
I’m just a little hummingbird, I want to sing but I can’t find the words,
|
So when you come around I just go still
|
But after you move on, when I know you’re gone,
|
Then I sing for you the way I always will.
