As the days got longer and the sun got warmer
And the promise of spring turned into summer
You went from being just the girl next door
And turned out to be so much more
With your pixie cut and your strawberry dress
and that smile I hadn't noticed yet
We would sit for hours on the garden wall
barely talking about anything at all
As the world turned slowly into night
We found something better than candlelight
Fireflies in a mason jar We're all alone below the stars
I'm looking at you, you're looking at me and our faces are glowing bright lime green
No one knows just where we are except our fireflies in a mason jar
SOLO
The sun is setting as I look out the window
There's frost on the glass and I'm watching the wind blow
I wonder if you still remember
Those magical nights of our endless summer
When the world turned slowly into the night
And we found something better than candlelight
Fireflies in a mason jar We're all alone below the stars
I'm looking at you, you're looking at me and our faces are glowing bright lime green
No one knows just where we are except our fireflies in a mason jar
