Fireflies
[Verse 1]
I thought that I could drift through life on all those pretty sentiments
They said everything turns out fine, don't know if they really meant it
I wasted so much of my time looking for ways to circumvent
This sinking feeling now I know its the same one that makes you rise

[Chorus]
I guess these sort of things just take their time
Sometimes it's just enough to feel alright
But is that all that i've been working for my life

[Verse 2]
Remember the first summer of our lives that we wished we were grown up
The first summer your heart got broken it wouldn't be the last
The summer you went out of town, I stayed inside till you came back
The summer that we grew apart but I guess that we were okay with that

[Chorus 2]
It's not my best but I guess its a start
I've always felt that I was in the dark
I'd like to tell you but it feels we're worlds apart
[Verse 3]
I filled up so much of my past try'n to avoid the detriment
Was always looking for the perfect time to take the smallest steps
I wondered why you always seemed so eager to get closer with
That sinking feeling now I know its the same one that makes you rise
