Catching Fireflies

(앨범: Vital Signs - 2010)

My baby told me
You gotta get better if you ever wanna win
And I know that
She's not getting any better man she just sin
I still love her
But I know I was once there wearing them shoes
I'm still hurting
'Cause the woman I love's giving me the blues

Sitting here sober
But I wonder what shape she'll find me in
I need her under my skin
Like a junkie needs heroin
And I'm never going back to Snake n' Jakes
The amount of money I spent I could've bought the place
Not to mention that they know my face
Now it's hell getting out the place

So I'm walking the streets tonight
I'm catching some fireflies
Some would say that I'm living a lie
But no more today no more tonight
You could say that I'm under the gun
Nine million miles away from the sun
I've hesitated much too long
But I'm still having fun hope you're having fun

Belly up in an ambulance
I spent Sunday making doctor friends
I could've used a pair of depends
I hope that made you laugh 'cause you know I'm a gentlemen
Heaven found me living didn't find me dead
Got a permanent ash mark on my forehead
But it still couldn't save me from lying in bed
Staring at your clothes in the closet while I was out of my head

So I'm walking the streets tonight
I'm catching some fireflies
Some would say that I'm living a lie
But no more today no more tonight
You could say that I'm under the gun
Nine million miles away from the sun
I've hesitated much too long
But I'm still having fun hope you're having fun

I'm a peaceful man today
Ain't got no more weekend wars to wage
So give me one more shot babe
