Verse 1
Firefly shine bright
I cannot see without your light
And firefly stay strong
And last me the whole night long
Firefly guide me
Through questions of eternity
Firefly don’t go
There are so many things I wish to know
Chorus 1
‘Cause I may never understand this world
And I may never find the clam's pearl
But with your light I can live on
Without the answer to my song
Verse 2
Firefly shine bright
I cannot see without your light
And firefly stay strong
And last me the whole night long
Mama where do I go
When darkness envelopes my glow?
And Papa what do I become
When I can’t dance or sing or hum?

Verse 1
Tell me the story of how you grew
From infant to wise and wrinkled you
Tell me the story of what you saw
When you thought the world was new and raw
Chorus 1
‘Cause I am afraid of the years that lie in front of me
And I am afraid of the pain I will have to endure
And I am afraid that I will not be who I wanna be
But maybe you can guide me through the blur
Verse 2
Tell me the story of who you know
About all your friends and all your foes
Tell me the story of how you loved
How your heart was trampled and beloved

Oh I was gonna write a song write a song

Oh I was gonna draw the sun draw the sun
But the colors started to run
And the painting was never done

But there are people I cannot save

Oh I was gonna fly the skies fly the skies
But they told me not to try
And they would not to ask why

Verse 1
I don’t believe in God so much
I’ve always had my doubts
And I don’t believe in war so much
There's never a just cause
But I do believe in you somehow
So don’t let me down
Chorus 1
Cause I don’t give my love so easily
And I don’t give my trust so freely
Verse 2
I don’t believe in true love
There's more than just one
I don’t believe in destiny
There's more than one way
But I do believe in you somehow
So don’t let me down
Chorus 2
Verse 3
Scat
I do believe in you
Yes, I do believe in you
Yes, I do believe in you somehow
So, don’t let me down

Fall In Love With You

Verse 1
My kind of love is not normal
I don’t even know what normal means
My kind of love is fun and stupid and cheesy
But only for the serious and brave
Chorus 1
I wanna fall in love with you
Oh boy it’s true
I wanna fall in love with you
And those stupid goddamn shoes
I wanna fall in love with you
And hug you when you’re blue
I wanna fall in love with you
And with your flaws too
Verse 2
My kind of love is special and dangerous
Something vulnerable and immense
My kind of love breaks down walls
That should have been destroyed long ago
Chorus 2
I wanna fall in love with you
Oh boy it’s true
I wanna fall in love with you
And all the stupid things you do
I wanna fall in love with you
When you look like a fool
I wanna fall in love with you
And with your flaws too
Verse 3
My kind of love is clear
It’s all in the eyes
And my kind of love is not something to play with
I will not allow that
Chorus 3
I wanna fall in love with you
Oh boy it’s true
I wanna fall in love with you
And those stupid goddamn shoes
I wanna fall in love with you
And kiss you when you’re blue
I wanna fall in love with you
And with your flaws
I wanna fall in love with you
I said I Oh I
And it won’t be hard to do
I wanna fall in love with you
And maybe you’ll fall in love with me
With me too
