I wanted to match your glow with an apple that i taught regret But you smashed that fruit and you spat on my shoes And you drew an airplane flying through my head I might as well be dead Let those fireflies chew off my legs Cause i don't wanna ever dance no more I wanted to make you swoon with a light bulb that i taught to fly But you took that bulb and you chewed it to a pulp And you spat out fifty full grown fireflies But it was all a lie Those fireflies are made out of dust And i don't wanna watch them glow no more I wanted to make you cry with a cowboy that i taught restraint But you snapped him in two and you buttered his boots And you threw him out into the pouring rain Well it really ruined my day I had to glue him back together again And i don't think he'll ever dance no more
