Chasing Fireflies<br /><br />(Verse 1) <br />Under the streetlights, we would run, <br />Barefoot on pavement, laughing ‘til we’re done. <br />Old baseball cards, dreams in the air, <br />Summer nights, without a single care. <br /><br />(Chorus) <br />Oh, I chased those fireflies, <br />Thought they'd light my way, <br />But the sky turned dark, <br />And I lost my place to stay. <br />Now I’m running, heartbroken, <br />With ghosts by my side, <br />Chasing dreams from childhood, <br />With nowhere left to hide. <br /><br />(Verse 2) <br />Took my first guitar, made it sing, <br />Played our favorite song, felt like a king. <br />In my room, we’d scream, “We’ll change the world,” <br />Now those dreams feel like a flag unfurled. <br /><br />(Chorus) <br />Oh, I chased those fireflies, <br />Thought they'd light my way, <br />But the sky turned dark, <br />And I lost my place to stay. <br />Now I’m running, heartbroken, <br />With ghosts by my side, <br />Chasing dreams from childhood, <br />With nowhere left to hide. <br /><br />(Bridge) <br />Bitterness creeps in, as I watch them glow, <br />Grateful for the moments, but it hurts to let go. <br />Depression whispers softly, “You’re never gonna win,” <br />But deep inside, there’s a spark, I know I’ll begin. <br /><br />(Verse 3) <br />I’ll rise from the ashes, won’t let shadows win, <br />Defiant and humble, I’ll take it on the chin. <br />Motivated by memories, of simpler times, <br />Cursed by expectations, but I’ll write my rhymes. <br /><br />(Chorus) <br />Oh, I chased those fireflies, <br />Thought they'd light my way, <br />But the sky turned dark, <br />And I lost my place to stay. <br />Now I’m running, heartbroken, <br />With ghosts by my side, <br />Chasing dreams from childhood, <br />With nowhere left to hide. <br /><br />(Outro) <br />Nostalgic and longing, for the days so bright, <br />Lonely in the silence, but I’ll fight this night. <br />I’m proud of my journey, excited for the dawn, <br />With every step I take, I’ll keep pushing on. <br />Chasing fireflies, I’ll find my way, <br />Through the tangled memories, I’m here to stay.
