To be the last to leave...
the last to be gone
Stolen from the ones...
who hung on to it...

To be the last in line...
for the ones that live on...
Silhouette of a dream...
Treasured by the ones...
who hung on to it...

Almost had a breakdown...
of our love affair...
The stiletto cuts quick...
Ooo like a whip through the air
Long distance winner...
will we survive the flight
No one of us runs...
from the firelight

I would love to believe...
Ooo...
I believe what you say...
Ooo...
In the drama of the moment...
Oh...'cause there is no easy way
No one ever leaves...
Everyone stays close...
till the fire fades...

(repeat) To be the last to leave;(to be gone)
what caused the fearsome...
Divorce in the night...
there was no competition...
To survive do it right...
you believe in the five
To survive the distance...
everyone fights
Everyone fights...
and the fireflies...

Ooo...
At the risk of my feelings...
We are dreamers in the night
Some call it my nightmare...
my five fireflies...
Well like a sailing ship...
not one of us runs...
Oh...oh...of our love affair...
like a whip through the air
I would love to believe...
I believe what you say...yeah...
