Lyrics
oh you say that you want to be friends but you're oh too kind
oh you fall like a dove getting faster all the time
and it gone to fast these days upon your wings
now I feel like fire and i'm on to better things
well the sun is bright, the sky is near and I won't wait behind
all you people drown my fears and dry my lonely eyes
so if you see me passing by its not the first time
I'll sit and watch the fireflies unitl the first light
who wouldn't wait for you forever
its getting close its now or never
all your calls are screaming, i'm holding out a hand
and all your words are bleeding with hopes to understand
when seeing is believeing, it helps to know you care
as long as I am breathing these words will fill the air
oh-oh, oh-oh...
oh you say that you want to be friends and I say alright
it's hard to believe there's a god in this frozen sky
and I pray to forget but I can't seem to get away
and what are memories to you anyways
so if you see me passing by its not the first time
I'll sit and watch the fireflies unitl the first light
who wouldn't wait for you forever
its getting close its now or never
