Fireflies by Riley Owens

LYRICS:
Every bird flies away
From their mommy one day
Do you think they get nervous to fly?
No more food in the nest,
No more breakfast in bed
One day it’s on you to catch the rest

Hey, you’re gonna work yourself to death
Why don’t you get that through your head
Before the summer
So we can say
What do you wanna do today
Let’s live our lives for something other than the weekend

As he watches the waves
From up high every day
Does he ever stop to catch his breath

Hey, you’re gonna work yourself to death
Why don’t you get that through your head
Before the summer
So we can say
What do you wanna do today
Let’s live our lives for something other than the weekend

But the weekend’s all I’ve ever really known
And the pieces I will pick up on my own

For you, I’m going under
For you, I do my time
For you, I’m going under
Cause it’s time I finally learn to get it right

Hey, you’re gonna work yourself to death
Why don’t you get that through your head
Before the summer
So we can say
You look wonderful today
Now let’s live our lives for something other than the weekend

But the weekend’s all I’ve ever really known
And the pieces I will pick up on my own

For you, I’m going under
For you, I do my time
For you, I’m gonna steal that thunder
Cause it’s time I finally learn to get it right
