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 

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
