(feat. Katie Herzig) Oh I want every second of the minutes in the hours of these days 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
