lyrics

You and I were once unstoppable
Juggernauts in the summer sky
Collecting firefly stars and junebug moons
I would be a prince with constellations cradled in my hands
And we would make names to sing after them when we threw them back into the night

The world trembled then at my cartwheels
And the hills would rise and applaud your somersaults
We were brave and barefoot defiant
And all things on heaven and earth were ours to discover

But age began to rob my momentum, and the sky grew faster than my reach
The constellations spread and abandoned me to gravity and pettier things
And my eyes grew only frustrated and weighted with doubt and age
So I look only ahead now with no time for foolishness
Before time escapes me too

…

Sometimes I dream of fireflies I can still outrun
And I awake with the song of their names at my lips
But I let the syllables rot inside my mouth
And try to think again of responsibilities and common sense
To wrap my tired mind in sleep
