Lyrics
I can be so cruel when I talk to myself
I sometimes speak harshly to myself
But I act just like a fool when I hear it from someone else
I behave foolishly when hearing criticism from others
Man it's a shame but I got a question
Expressing regret and posing a question
Why don't fireflies work at Christmas
Rhetorical question about fireflies and Christmas
They'd blend right it and they'd beat the system
Suggesting fireflies would fit in and defy expectations
Man I got too much time for thinking oh
Reflecting on having excessive time for contemplation
Only if you're if you're lonely I can always be on the way
Offering support if someone is lonely
Lonely you're not the only and I'm only a phone call away
Reassuring that loneliness is not exclusive and a call away
And I can be so cool when I talk to myself
Contrasting behavior when talking to oneself
Or maybe it's just old school yea but that sounds like an excuse
Considering if behavior is merely traditional
Oh it's a shame because I got a question
Expressing regret and posing another question
What really truly actually happened
Reflecting uncertainty about past events
They said it was the egg but I'd be lying
Referencing a debated topic (egg or chicken first)
I got to admit I thought it was the chicken I said
Admitting personal belief in the chicken-first theory
Only if you're if you're lonely I can always be on the way
Offering support if someone is lonely (repeated)
Lonely you're not the only and I'm only a phone call away
Reassuring that loneliness is not exclusive and a call away (repeated)
Bottle it up send it off hopefully it hits a shore and
Suggesting to contain emotions and send them away
Bottle it up send it off hopefully it hits a shore and
Reiterating the idea of bottling up emotions
Bottle it up and you send it off hopefully it hits a shore and
Emphasizing the act of bottling emotions and sending them away
Bottle it up send it off send it off
Repeating the notion of bottling and sending emotions away
Only if you're if you're lonely I can always be on the way
Offering support if someone is lonely (repeated)
Lonely you're not the only and I'm only a phone call away
Reassuring that loneliness is not exclusive and a call away (repeated)
Lonely you're not the only and I can always be on the way
Reiterating the availability for those feeling lonely
Lonely you're not the only I'm only a phone call away
Reassuring that loneliness is not exclusive and a call away (repeated)
