Poured my glass of wine
You caught me some fireflies
Told me their names
And how much they love their life in a jar

You twist around me like vines
You rub the stars in my bright eyes
Then you sold me a future
From the ones you had in the trunk of your car

You said I think too much
You said I always mess it up
It was so easy to believe
I’ve always said same things…

Stay out honey
I can see you’re wicked
And I don’t want your wicked love
Don’t need what makes me feel addicted
I don’t want your wicked love
Stay out
Stay out
I don’t want your wicked love
Stay out
Stay out
I don’t want your wicked wicked wicked love

You thought I didn’t notice
You had me caught like a firefly
I’d abandoned my flight
To be crawling around with these wings

But I won’t forget this moment
(wait until you see)
And how mighty the truth can be
How her hammer and nails
Chisel beauty from grotesque things

You say I think too much
Tell me I always mess it up
Well I’ll break the glass and see
If the fireflies agree

Stay out honey
I can see you’re wicked
And I don’t want your wicked love
Don’t need what makes me feel addicted
I don’t want your wicked love
Stay out
Stay out
I don’t want your wicked love
Stay out
Stay out
I don’t want your wicked love
I don’t want your wicked love
Don’t need what makes me feel addicted
I don’t want your wicked wicked wicked love

Wait until you see
How mighty the truth can be
Like an ocean of light
It’s a sky filled with fireflies
