The wind that passed between us
brought a sense of loneliness from somewhere.
The sky after I cried
was burning bright and clear.

The words from my dad, always so harsh,
today felt warm to me.
Kindness, smiles, and dreams,
I didn’t know how to talk about them, so I just imitated you.

Just a little more is fine, just a bit more,
just a little more is all I need,
just a little more is fine, just a bit more,
should I stick around a little longer?

I knew you, the firefly.
Long before I remembered my own name,
there was definitely some meaning in a world without you.

But a world without you
is like August without summer break,
a world without you is like Santa without a laugh,
a world without you.

We’re time fireflies, climbing up the timeline,
I’m done playing hide and seek with time.
Nothing special, yeah, it’s really nothing special,
I’m heading out now.

We’re time fireflies, climbing up the timeline,
I’m done with hide and seek, it’s all good now.
You’re a flashy firefly, I want to stop your tears,
but I understood when I saw your tears flowing freely.

Being happy and crying isn’t sad,
my heart pushed me forward.
