lyrics

I gotta mouth full of dust and a fist full of stones
ain’t ‘fraid of dying, just living alone
there's 10 thousand fireflies that light up the night
the jars are all broken, lost in the fight

I cried when they told me he gave up the ghost
the people that love you, they hurt you the most
I got pictures of sunshine taped to the wall
they remind me of you when the rain starts to fall

tell me what is the matter with us
tell me how many times is enough

I never told you bout '73
the year that we planted that sycamore tree
all the leaves golden brown, now they cover the lawn
will you head for the coast now that summer is gone

angels above me encircle my head
but my feet are still walking where demons have tread
I wanna knock all the lights from the sky
but the rocks that I throw don't quite make it that high

tell me what is the matter with love
tell me why can’t I be strong enough

I had a dream, a vision of you
I woke up believing that it could be true
I looked out the window and bright as the dawn
10,000 fireflies had carried you on...
