Be my firefly Keep me up, keep it down, keep me safe at night I won't try to find out How to float, how to breathe, how to see between Because one day I'll get back to That place where we started far beyond our view It's not so safe inside Been looking out, staring up, waiting for a sign Before we lose the light out But i can't leave, can't pretend like i do anything right (When I float away) I lost track of myself again this year (I won't find a thing) Keeps slipping through the cracks and I can't take it back (When I float away) And each night it follows me home (I won't find a thing) And eats away until I'm gone And I wish that you would let this go Oh I'll go down to the river and I'll try to wash this off my back And I wish that you would let this go Oh I'll fall down in the water and I'll try to savor one last breath Oh I wish you wouldn't let me go
