Fireflies In A Steel Mill Songtext

see, to her this just feels weird

and very, very, very sad

but she won't cry

she won't cry

she'll come home, baby

if you take it all back

if you take it all back



and it was hard when he told her

those ideas that never got finished
well, that's what we are

we're like the places you just never see

you read about them, you know you'd love them

well, that's how you fell in love with me



and to him this just seems weird

and very, very, very sad

but don't cry

don't laugh

would you come home, baby

if I take it all back?

cause I can take it all back

(look out...)



and I've heard that we can be fulfilled

like fireflies in a steel mill

we got fresh pressed linens on the floor

but the landlord's at the door

saying your checks are in disappearing ink

and your gold has broken all my teeth

and this past christmas, the air was too dry

and set fire to the wreath

but we were warm and dry beneath

this is the last time you'll do this to me



and oh, oh, oh, oh emily

you can't hold your drink

and no, no, no, no, it has to be

what do you think

of this heavy smog warning?

should we turn our tails and flee?

or should we just sit tight and breathe deep?
