100,000 Fireflies

100, 000 Fireflies
 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, 000 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
 When all our friends are in new york
 Why do we keep shreiking
 when we mean soft things
