If I could only see this night as another day
I'd know you found your silence
Instead of being wrapped up in me
Wrapped up in this violence
I'm back floating on water
Looking up at the night
There's a hole in the sky
All those fireflies
Don't believe in the sun
Or the nighttime skies
They're only fireflies
Took a walk out the door
On the day you died
And I looked up to the sun
And I saw fireflies
And now I can't see no border
Between the day and the night
You were torn all your life
Between those fireflies
Fire
It's only fire
It's only fire
It's only (fire) fireflies
Fire
It's only fire (it's only fire)
It's only fire (yeah)
Fire (it's only)
Fire (fire, ooh)
It's only fire (ooh)
It's only fire (yeah, it's only)
Fire (fire)
