(Verse 1) I call you up after midnight
When the world is fast asleep
You're folding laundry, I'm stuck in traffic Two hearts lost in the in-between
(Pre-Chorus)
We laugh about the mess we're in
Two stories tangled up in time
Every moment feels like fate
But we’re always one step misaligned
(Chorus)
Oh, we’re fireflies in the daylight
Falling stars that never land
Running circles ‘round the moment
But it slips right through our hands
Maybe in another lifetime
We won’t have to chase the sun
But for now, it’s just bad timing
Not the lack of love
(Verse 2)
Your voice still echoes in my daydreams
Like a song I can’t forget
Between the meetings, kids, and chaos You're the peace I haven’t met
(Pre-Chorus)
We joke about the lives we lead
How the universe just plays along
Maybe someday clocks will listen
And we’ll finally get it wrong
(Chorus) Oh, we’re fireflies in the daylight Falling stars that never land
Running circles ‘round the moment
But it slips right through our hands
Maybe in another lifetime
We won’t have to chase the sun
But for now, it’s just bad timing
Not the lack of love
(Bridge) I swear the stars are laughing at us
Every time we try to meet
But if waiting makes the heart grow stronger Then maybe fate’s just incomplete
(Outro) So keep me in your quiet moments And I’ll hold you in my dreams
Love’s not lost, it’s just unwritten
Still a verse in melody
