That fire was burnin’ down to smoke
We were leanin’ close and laughin’ low
We’d been friends for too damn long
But we hadn’t crossed that line, we stayed strong
I told you I’d be leavin’ come next week
You said, “Guess that means you’ll forget me”
I just shook my head
I’ll never forget what we did
We talked about school, all those nights
How we swore we’d never cross that line
Then you kissed me… like I always wanted to
And I knew, right then, I’d never forget you
Before I go… hold me tight, the world don’t have to know
Let the clock stop tickin’, it’s just us alone
This ain’t a goodbye, just the road I chose
This love’s like a firefly, only burns for a little while
Just let me love you for a while
Before I go
Your perfume filled the room
That Nickelback song set the mood
We said the things we shouldn’t that night
Tryin’ to make forever before the sunlight
Lyin’ there with your breath on my skin
Wishin’ we could do it all over again
For one more night… wish that would make it right
Everything else just faded into the night
Every mile made me wish you were here
And every sunrise whispered you were near
Before I go… hold me tight, the world don’t have to know
Let the clock stop tickin’, it’s just us alone
This ain’t a goodbye, just the road I chose
This love’s like a firefly, only burns for a little while
Just let me love you for a while
Before I go
Before I go… hold me one last time, the world can’t wait
Let the clock keep tickin’, it’s just our fate
This is the last goodbye
This love’s burnt out like a firefly
Just let me hold on for a while
Before I go
Before I go…
Before I go…
Before I go…
Before
I
Go
