I was drawn to the light
Just a little curious
Then I grew to needing it bright
I began to speak of us
By the time you realize you're on the losing side
It's too late for regrets, too late for regrets
I was caught by the light
Of a firefly night on a firefly night
It was the girl on the cover
Not the living breathing me
And for once I can take no pleasure
In my getting it right finally
By the time you realize
You're on the losing side
It's too late for regrets
I was caught by the light
Of a firefly night on a firefly night
Like a magic trick once explained
When you hold the secret in your hand
The magic's tamed
There are no lights in my eyes now
And I sit for hours in a daze
'Cause I've lost the sweetest madness
That could baffle and amaze
By the time you realize
You're on the losing side
It's too late for regrets
I was caught by the light
Of a firefly night on a firefly night
