{Chorus: Tom Parker}

As I stair into the sky I see nothing but a million fireflies

Reminding me I can make my life shine it's not over over over


{Verse 1: Richard Rawson}

I started writing songs for a path to express my pain

Natural born performer I was put in to entertain

Standing on these stages singing songs from a tender age

Guess that's all I knew apart from waiting and playing the game

Used to have a girl

But all she did was just stress my brain

Had to let her go

I was just looking forward to better days better days

Cause when you're stuck in this cycle I swear you never know

You keep on going round and round until you let it go

I used to wish for things

I thought i'd never gain

The only thing I wish for now is that they stay the same

I try to make it work in each and every way

But it's a shame when things fade


{Chorus: Tom Parker}

As I stair into the sky I see nothing but a million fireflies

Reminding me I can make my life shine it's not over over over


{Verse 2: Richard Rawson}

It was all good just a year ago

Now I don't recognize myself in the mirror though

I am used to seeing 3 silhouettes in the video

But now it's me

Myself and I ima kill it though

A moment from overdosing

I swear i'm just barely coping

I chill with my brother Lewis

I fell like i'm Leona

My heart keeps bleeding,keeps,keeps bleeding

Only get one life then the fireflies are leaving

So hello world can you people hear me calling?

I always put my all in

Working from night to morning

I'm about to take over

Heres the motherfucking warning right

You heard

It's the motherfucking warning right

{Chorus: Tom Parker}

As I stair into the sky I see nothing but a million fireflies

Reminding me I can make my life shine it's not over over over

Cause all I can see is fireflies

I see you fireflies

I see you fireflies


{Verse 3: Richard Rawson}

I swear i'm like a fireflie

I require darkness in order to shine

I take the cold days out of this world

And make the warm nights by lighting the sky

My dad told me everything changes in time

I know he was right

It's the way of this life

That's why I try to stay away from losing my cool

Cause I swear my biggest fear is losing it all


{Chorus: Tom Parker}

As I stair into the sky I see nothing but a million fireflies

Reminding me I can make my life shine

(I can make it shine)

It's not over, over, over

(It's not over)

Cause I can see the fireflies

I see them

I see them

I see them

I see them
