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
