Fireflies

Before you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen
And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dreamI found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinker Bell
But they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tellI believe in fairy tales
And dreamer's dreams like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles
Anything I can to get by and firefliesBefore I grew up I saw you on a cloud
I could bless myself in your name and pat you on your wings
And before I grew up I heard you whisper so loud
Well life is hard and so is love child, believing in all these thingsI found mayonnaise bottles and poked holes on top
To capture Tinker Bell
But they were just fireflies to the untrained eye
But I could always tellI believe in fairy tales
And dreamer's dreams like bedsheet sails
And I believe in Peter Pan and miracles
Anything I can to get by and fireflies, firefliesBefore you met me I was a fairy princess
I caught frogs and called them prince and made myself a queen
And before you knew me I'd traveled 'round the world
I slept in castles and fell in love because I was taught to dream
