Lightning Bugs
Chasing Fireflies: A Love Story in Song
Lyrics
She likes Nick Drake, and I like the milk carton kids
Expressing differences in musical preferences between the speaker and their partner.
And we both love boat rides after dark
Shared enjoyment of boat rides during nighttime.
Sometimes we use my phone to find the constellations
Using a phone to identify constellations together.
And dancing on the water we can count the stars
Dancing on the water and counting stars, emphasizing a romantic moment.
She likes the Weepies and I like the Brother Brothers
Highlighting different music preferences again, mentioning The Weepies and the Brother Brothers.
And we both love chasing lightning bugs
Expressing mutual enjoyment of chasing lightning bugs.
Burnin’ up the hillside with their little tails afire
Describing the visual spectacle of lightning bugs burning up the hillside.
Glowing in the darkness like the two of us
Drawing a parallel between the glowing lightning bugs and the couple.
She loves me, she loves me

Well in any weather

She loves me when it’s cold outside

I love her, I love her

Hell or high water

And even when we see through different eyes

We still chase the fireflies

Chase the fireflies

She likes Coldplay live and I prefer Lake Street Dive
Highlighting different preferences in live music.
And we both love how concerts make us feel
Expressing the positive impact of concerts on their emotions.
When we’re on the water, watching time fly by together
Sharing moments of watching time pass on the water together.
The mountains and the moonlight play our favorite song
Creating a romantic image of mountains and moonlight with a favorite song.
