She swears by the moon That she’ll love me forever And I know in that moment She’s just like the moon Changing forever But damn I love her so much I’ll take whatever Promises she’s offering Even if she’ll never keep them I’ll buy each little lie Keeping it in a jar Like a firefly light Burning and fading Dying a bit day by day But I’ll treasure it always Because you swore on it One night when you kissed me In the bruise purple of twilight When I knew it was impossible For this night to last forever Though I swore to you then And still mean it now I would have kidnapped all the stars To make sure that night never ended Now I’m just collecting thoughts On a written page filled with nets Trying to capture those fireflies With their slowly dying light To catch once more that spark That you brought into my life All your promises like falling stars Full of wishes but burning out Before they ever come true You’re still my shooting star Even when you’ve gone Streaking off to some far off destination
