Every now and then I feel like I don't wanna go nowhere
And there's nowhere to go
It's a simple day, and I'm watchin' 'em build their spider webs
It doesn't seem so slow
When I feel that way, we can drive eight miles and take ten miles
To get back home
When I feel that way, if I'm with anybody else but you
I still feel alone
Hour after hour chasing fireflies, why does the day go by?
Wasting time all on my own
Love disappears, I wish you were here
When I open my eyes and look upon another one of those days
When I just wish that you were here (yeah, but I know that you're not here)
And I remember times when you really only wanted to be with me
But I wouldn't let you near
Hour after hour chasing fireflies, why does the day go by?
Wasting time all on my own
Love disappears, I wish you were here
(Yeah, but I know that you're not here)
I wonder, what does it mean when I sit around all day just wasting time
Till I get the nerve to call
And you still call me 'babe' when you're still asleep when you answer the phone
Do you feel a thing at all?
Hour after hour chasing fireflies, why does the day go by?
And I'm wasting my time
I'm on my own, all on my own
