Verse 1)
Yellow fireflies dancing (Mmm) Just before the curtain drops low The silence you felt, you're falling softer Waiting for the heat, watching the glow
(Pre-Chorus)
I need the eyes, I need them all on mine It’s the only way that I feel divine Breathing harder, the spotlight is cruel But it makes you want me, you beautiful fool
(Chorus)
Someone soon, they'll see what they like Flickering up on a screen in the night Lips pressing down, where the lens can't observe It's the only thing that breaks the nerve Pillows on pillows, a room in the dark Leaving a beautiful, temporary mark Lights, camera, action—I'm ready to bloom Burn me there, I'll light up the room
(Verse 2)
Moonshine on lakes, a silver reflection Of everything I crave, all the public affection Candlelit rooms don't feel like a secret When the memory's captured, you know I will keep it 'Til it's billboards of me, a thousand feet high Every magazine, every wandering eye
(Pre-Chorus)
I need the eyes, I need them all on mine It’s the only way that I feel divine Breathing harder, the spotlight is cruel But it makes you want me, you beautiful fool
(Bridge)
Take me to wildflowers, away from the sound But I know that the camera will follow us down Hopefully memories, they fuel the fire The press is just watching to see me get higher
(Chorus)
Someone soon, they'll see what they like Flickering up on a screen in the night Lips pressing down, where the lens can't observe It's the only thing that breaks the nerve Pillows on pillows, a room in the dark Leaving a beautiful, temporary mark Lights, camera, action—I'm ready to bloom Burn me there, I'll light up the room
(Outro)
TV screens everywhere... You're looking at me now, you're looking at me Someone soon...
