[Verse 1]
I was just a brittle stone
Buried in the earth alone
Wondering if I'd ever leave the ground

Then one day a passerby
Threw me over the lake and I
Skipped and for a moment I could fly

[Chorus]
Oh why, oh why?
Oh why, oh why?

[Verse 2]
I ran back to find your hand
Hoping you'd throw me again
And that was when we rose into the air

Now we're both just fireflies
Staring up at starry skies
Doing all we can, shine a light

[Chorus]
Oh why, oh why?
Oh why, oh why?
Oh why, oh why?
Oh why, oh why?
