Innocence didn't mean we're immune to these things
Let's blame the passage of time
Love and loss, truth it costs more than I can spare right now
Maybe it's simpler to lie
Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe
Cold on our necks, snow in our paths
Wherever she goes, all that I know about us
Is that beautiful things never last
That's why fireflies flash
When the streetlights come on and the fireflies flicker
I am walking her home, making plans
With her shoes in her hands, I am watching her dance
As the hem of her dress gently kisses the grass
It's too late to cry, too broken to move on
And still I can't let you be, most nights I hardly sleep
Don't seek what you don't need from me
Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know that I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light, a patch of blue sky
Somthing to believe in
Like gasoline on an open flame, light up so bright... then burn away
Falling in love0I thank God that you're here with me
And I know you too well to say that you're perfect
But you'll see, oh my sweet love, you're perfect for me
I sit on the bed right now and I sing you a song
It's not always easy, but somehow our love stays strong
If I can make you happy, then this is where I belong
