Fireflies by Building Skyscrapers Lyrics
As a child i'd chase lightning bugs
In the backyard of my parents house
The memory of smiles
Has been stuck in my mind for a while
And i've been trying to catch that feeling
But they keep dying in the jar
And now it's thundering in my head
And there's a downpour in my heart
And it's been a while
Since i haven't had to fake this smile
I'm not even a shell of a man
Just a distant memory of a boy
And i've been trying to shake that feeling
That it's been this way from the start
And it's been thundering in my head
And there's a downpour in my heart
Now i'm soaking wet and i'm drowning in
The puddles i used to splash in when i was a kid
And i've been trying to shake this feeling
But i keep crying in the dark
In the backyard of my parents house
The memory of smiles
Has been stuck in my mind for a while
And i've been trying to catch that feeling
But they keep dying in the jar
And now it's thundering in my head
And there's a downpour in my heart
And it's been a while
Since i haven't had to fake this smile
I'm not even a shell of a man
Just a distant memory of a boy
And i've been trying to shake that feeling
That it's been this way from the start
And it's been thundering in my head
And there's a downpour in my heart
Now i'm soaking wet and i'm drowning in
The puddles i used to splash in when i was a kid
And i've been trying to shake this feeling
But i keep crying in the dark
