Kids today
Only play when it's day
Long ago we were young and free to go
Running around
We went running around at night
Dancing with the shadows round the fireside light
We were free to run free without fear of not waking up
Like lightning in a bottle
We were the fireflies
We used to get cabin fever
We used to get lonely there
We'd make our way out once in a while
To breathe the clear blue air
But now they're all cooped up inside
Scrolling and pecking away
They delete their friends both left and right
But when we were their age, we went running around at night
Running around
We went running around at night
Dancing with the shadows round the fireside light
We were free to run free without fear of not waking up
Like lightning in a bottle
We were the fireflies
Can't see the other side of town
You are heads, I am tails
We disagree on what's up or down
Now we're running off the rails
Take us back to where we went
Running around
We went running around at night
Dancing with the shadows round the fireside light
We were free to run free without fear of not waking up
Like lightning in a bottle
We were the fireflies
