I was drawn to the light just a little curious
then I grew to needing it bright
I began to speak of us
by the time you realize you're on the losing side
it's too late for regrets, too late for regrets
I was caught by the light of a firefly night on a firefly night
it was the girl on the cover
not the living breathing me
and for once I can take no pleasure in my getting it right finally
by the time you realize you're on the losing side it's too late for regrets
I was caught by the light of a firefly night on a firefly night
like a magic trick once explained
when you hold the secret in your hand, the magic's tamed
there are no lights in my eyes now
and I sit for hours in a daze, cause I've lost the sweetest madness
that could baffle and amaze
by the time you realize you're on the losing side
it's too late for regrets
I was caught by the light of a firefly night on a firefly night
