The Revivalists - Catching Fireflies lyrics
[The Revivalists - Catching Fireflies lyrics]
You gotta get better if you ever wanna win
And I know that
She’s not gettin' any better man
She just sin i still love her
'Cause, I know I was once
There wearin' them shoes i’m still hurtin'
‘Cause the woman I love’s givin' me the blues
I'm sittin' 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 catchin' some fireflies
Some would say that I’m livin' 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 still havin' fun, hope you’re havin' fun
Belly up in an ambulance
I spent Sunday makin' 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 livin' didn’t find me dead
Got a permanent ash mark on my forehead
But it still couldn’t save me
From lyin' in bed
Staring at your clothes in the closet while
I was out of my head
So I’m walkin' the streets tonight
I’m catchin' 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 havin' fun
Hope you’re havin' fun
(yeah, take it away)
I’m a peaceful man today
Ain’t got no more weekend wars to wage
So give me one more shot babe, shot babe
Well I’m a peaceful man today
Ain’t got no more weekend wars to wage
So give me one more shot babe, shot babe
Shot babe
