We've all got to dream of something,
tall buildings or wet sand between our toes,
or fast cars and fancy clothes.
Some folks spend their whole lives fighting
while some find the good life drops in their lap
nothing ever will close that gap
You just got to jump onboard
and hope you'll find your reward.
Soon that day will come your urge to roam will relent,
so make your move, make your peace, make amends,
we're all coming home in the end
I've travelled so far so quickly
the continent spinning beneath my wings
ticking boxes, aquiring things,
but the further I go I find, I just want what I left behind
maybe love will lead me back to your door
the need to feel something simple and pure, like I did before,
how we strain our necks to see what's around the next bend
or waste our hours chasing fair-weather friends
we're all coming home in the end.
So fly, don't shy from some afar desired prize
a million miles from where we lie,
Cos your flight is one enormous circle looping wide
to bring you right back to my side,
oh, oh, oh
Lyrics to Halo of Fireflies :
Born in a barn by a lake made of whiskey.
A girl with a halo made of fireflies.
She married me by the moonlight in Athens,
And we drove away to see the world.
I've seen a moth by the light and he won't die without a fight.
But like a moth seeks the sun, he never knows if there is one.
But keeps on looking anyway.
Call me a cab 'cause I'm drunk and I'm lonely and I know it's time for me to go on home.
Don't wait for me at the end of the party 'cause I won't be there.
I've seen a moth by the light and he won't die without a fight.
And like the moth I don't know just where the hell I'm supposed to go but I'll keep looking anyway.
So in my dreams I can tell you about her and the way that we spend our lives in happiness.
Down in a barn by a lake made of whiskey.
With a girl with a halo made of fireflies.
tall buildings or wet sand between our toes,
or fast cars and fancy clothes.
Some folks spend their whole lives fighting
while some find the good life drops in their lap
nothing ever will close that gap
You just got to jump onboard
and hope you'll find your reward.
Soon that day will come your urge to roam will relent,
so make your move, make your peace, make amends,
we're all coming home in the end
I've travelled so far so quickly
the continent spinning beneath my wings
ticking boxes, aquiring things,
but the further I go I find, I just want what I left behind
maybe love will lead me back to your door
the need to feel something simple and pure, like I did before,
how we strain our necks to see what's around the next bend
or waste our hours chasing fair-weather friends

Cos your flight is one enormous circle looping wide
