[Rhett]
You look like my mother
did when she was nineteen,
not afraid to die
I started planning our future
when you were just nineteen,
I stole a firefly

[Rachel]
You got terrible vision
should have seen I was leaving
when I first appeared
I got bit by the footlights
got caught in the headlights
in any place but here.

[Both]
Never say you'll never leave,
cause you'll never know til you try
In a jar, fireflies
only last for one night
only last for one night

[Rachel]
Trains roll, like camels in slow mo
Tryin' to find good love
well it couldn't find them

[Rhett]
Oh yeah, and I'm
gonna sleep on the train tracks
It's gonna be peaceful
and it's gonna rough

[Both]
Never say you'll never leave,
cause you'll never know til you try
In a jar, fireflies
only last for one night
only last for one night

[Both]
I must have had reason for leaving

[Rhett]
Not one I could see

[Both]
I must have had reason for leaving

[Rhett]
Must have been me

[Both]
Must have been me

[Rhett]
You look like my mother
did when she was nineteen,
not afraid to die

[Rachel]
For the last time,
I'm not your mother
And I was only nineteen
when I stole a firefly
