I've been wondering, now
What you've been thinking about
For some time
It's taking all of mine
You've been thinking about changin' yourself
I've been hopin' that I can change your mind
Let them thoughts fall behind
And you won't regret it
Unless you let it pass you by
If lightning bugs could be stars in the sky
I'd open up this jar and let your wishes fly
Oh, I hope they don't go dying tonight
It's time to get rid of that bit of doubt that's on your mind
I want you to know
If you're on your own
That I want you to grow, even if I don't
So please don't wait around, for me to leave the ground
'Cause I'll figure it out
What you should take into account
Is the way I love you now is never gonna change
And that won't decay someday
I've been trying to face what I cannot help
And I've been dying to take things and make them right
But I can't, there ain't no reason why
If lightning bugs could be stars in the sky
I'd open up this jar and let your wishes fly
May they all come true tonight
It's time to get rid of that bit of doubt that's on your mind
I want you to know
If you're on your own
That I want you to grow, even if I don't
So please don't wait around, for me to leave the ground
'Cause I'll figure it out
What you should take into account
Is that the way I love you now is never gonna change
And that won't decay someday
Well, in the days to come
Know that I'm missing you, hun
Just like I always do
And in the long run, it cannot be undone
You and I, we both know that's true
In the days to come
You'll probably run from things that I tend to do
But in the long run, when it's all done,
I'll still be singing for you
