The Firefly Proposal

Last night I found your face at the level of my knees,
You picked me out a firefly and called it a ring.
I swear that I saw Jesus and he didn't seem so mean,
but I guess things aren't always as they seem.

You got mad my dirty spectacles kept your light from shining through,
so I traded in my lenses and nothing else was new.
At our last meal the waiter asked "how will you take your disease?"
and we both replied "I'll just take the regular please."

We were so infinite,
we felt so infinite.

I've been sitting in your windowsill for the best part of today,
my clock had it's own heart attack but I'm pretty sure I'm late.
And i thought you saw me creeping so I just wrote a note instead,
I heard you laugh when I called you darling.

But now we're in for it,
now we're in for it.
Right now we're in for it,
now we're in for it.

We were so infinite,
you swore we were infinite,
but now we're in for it,
now we're in for it.
