Midnight Fireflies

[Verse]
I found a jar by the riverside
A thousand lights trapped inside
They danced like whispers in the dark

[Chorus]
Midnight fireflies
Lighting up the skies
Oh
They glow they glow
And I don't know why

[Verse 2]
The moon hung low like a paper kite
Clouds drifted slow through the night
The air smelled like secrets untold

[Prechorus]
I reached for the glow
But it slipped through my hands

[Chorus]
Midnight fireflies
Lighting up the skies
Oh
They glow they glow
And I don't know why

[Bridge]
If I could catch one
Hold it tight
Would it lose its magic light
Or would it burn brighter in my palm
