Cause there's too many trees to climb 

And secret spots to find down by the lake

Oh the fireflies are out and momma's calling now



We can't go to sleep cause we'll wake up older

We can't let these nights steal away half our lives



And we will spend our days finding helpless competition to defeat

Yeah we'll chase away the girls and pretend 

that we don't want 'em on our street

Yeah the sun is running too

Being chased off by the moon 

And we should go to bed but we'll catch fireflies instead



We can't go to sleep cause we'll wake up older

We can't let these nights steal away

And I don't want these days to ever be over

We can't let these nights just steal away



Oh just stay awake with me

Won't you stay awake with me

Oh stay awake with me



We can't go to sleep cause we'll wake up older

We can't let these nights steal away

And I don't want these days to ever be over

We can't let these nights steal away half our lives
