Fireflies
I know
how to
tell you
things,
I know,
that you
need to
hear,
The long
walk down
to the
longest
drive
I watch
you go
by.
Deep shadow
crosses
over you,
And doors
open up
in front
of you,
To pass
right
through.
But tell
me as
you pass
into the
light,
Tell me
what did
you find,
When you
found
yourself
looking
in from
the other
side?
Whole
rows of
flowers
died,
Whole
months
and years
went by,
Couldn’t
work it
out although
I tried.
The laugh,
and the
laughter.
The smell
of the
rain,
o!
I love
you, I
love,
I love
you
Aloud
to be
heard
over street
music
I let
you climb
in beside,
The long
drive
down to
the waters
side
I watch
you go
by.
Deep shadows
etched
beside
your eyes,
And nobody
knows
because
nobody
tries,
To reconcile,
(Wrestling
with the
crocodile).
And tell
me as
you pass
into the
light,
Tell me
how did
you rise,
Was it
easier
then looking
back in
from the
other
side?
Whipped
up a storm
and went
back inside
Whole
months
and years
went by
Ordinary
days flickering
like fireflies
The laugh,
and the
laughter,
The smell
of the
rain,
o!
I love
you, I
love you,
I love
you.
Background
A song
about
the high
points
in our
lives,
which
can sometimes
be very
insignificant
things.
It is
also about
moving
on, although
enjoying
the ride
in the
meantime.
“wrestling
with the
crocodiles
“refers
to crocodile
tears. |

This
Town /
This House
Down pours
the rain
We are
young
Fired
up, and
hoping
to run.
Wide eyed,
The story
of the
sea attracts
us.
Listen
to the
drowning.
All our
lives,
Spent,
In one
place
In this
town,
in this
house
With one
tongue,
of our
own
Down forest
floor
Hidden
from
Old man
living,
As one.
We have
tried,
The magic
of the
message
is lost
on us.
In love
with yesterday
All our
lives,
Spent,
In one
place
In this
town,
in this
house
With one
tongue,
of our
own
Strike
me down.
And push
me out.
