Superchunk - 100,000 Fireflies lyrics

rate me

I have a mandolin

I play it all night long

It makes we want to kill myself

I also have a dobro

Made in some mountain range

Seems like a mountain range in love

But when i turn up the tone

On my electric guitar

I'm afraid of the dark

Without you close to me

I went out in the forest and caught

100,00 fireflies

As they ricochet round my room

They remind me of your starry eyes

Someone else might not

Have made this so sad

But this is the worst night

I've ever had

Cause i'm afraid of the dark

Without you close to me

You won't be happy with me

Give me one more chance

You won't be happy anyway

Why do we still live here

In this repulsive town

All our friends are in new york

Why do we keep shreiking

When we mean soft things

We should be whispering all the time
