Porch Step Fireflies

Verse 1

Sitting on the porch step cracking knuckles at the sky

Barefoot on the cool boards

Something blinking in the tree line

Far across the valley where the ridgeline curls

Pre-Chorus

I squint until the shapes go soft

A hundred tiny lanterns switching on

Chorus

Fireflies on a far-off mountain

Flicker like a rumor of a flame

Fireflies on a far-off mountain

I will never learn a single name

(Small lights small lights)

Fireflies on a far-off mountain

Verse 2

Someone's got a cabin up there nobody's seen

They leave the porch light burning

Little bug confetti drifting over pines

I could watch till morning takes its turn

Pre-Chorus

The distance doesn't bother me at all

The blurriness is what I came to see

Chorus

Fireflies on a far-off mountain

Flicker like a rumor of a flame

Fireflies on a far-off mountain

I will never learn a single name

(Small lights small lights)

Fireflies on a far-off mountain

Bridge

Dim but beautiful

Dim but beautiful

Close enough to feel and far enough to wonder

If I walked all night I'd only scare them under

Chorus

Fireflies on a far-off mountain

Flicker like a rumor of a flame

Fireflies on a far-off mountain

I will never learn a single name

(Small lights small lights)

Fireflies on a far-off mountain

(Fireflies fireflies)

Fireflies on a far-off mountain
