Light Me Up Like Fireflies (versie 2)

Verse

Dusty old dashboard, windows down so low

Radio crackling through a station nobody knows

Neon flickers where the highway bends

Same four wheels but I was born again

Sixteen and reckless, hair in my face

Heartbeat louder than the radio's pace

Pre-Chorus

So why does it feel like forever

When forever's just one song away

Maybe freedom only lasts as long as summer

But I'm gonna hold this feeling till it turns to gold

Chorus

I was born in a fast car, windows down, radio on

Every mile is a prayer and every star is home

Light me up like fireflies before the sun

This is where the magic never stops, not yet, we're young

Verse

Old red truck rattling past my grandma's porch

Smoke and laughter hanging in the air like proof

Coke bottle cap flipped into a gutter

Chasing nothing but the way it feels to fly

Sneakers off on empty highway corners

Dancing where the streetlights used to be

Nothing broken, nothing lost yet

Just this feeling I can't call my own

Pre-Chorus

So why does it feel like forever

When forever's just one song away

Maybe freedom only lasts as long as summer

But I'm gonna hold this feeling till it turns to gold

Chorus

I was born in a fast car, windows down, radio on

Every mile is a prayer and every star is home

Light me up like fireflies before the sun

This is where the magic never stops, not yet, we're young

Bridge

Some nights I'll be chasing something else entirely

Money, status, a name nobody knows

But tonight it's just this feeling, wide open, untamed

I'm gonna save every second, frame each one like a photograph

Not to look back at later when the dust settles and the summer ends

But so I can see what flying really looks like

Chorus

I was born in a fast car, windows down, radio on

Every mile is a prayer and every star is home

Light me up like fireflies before the sun

This is where the magic never stops, not yet, we're young
