Story Behind The Song
This song was written by Casia of Canada. Through the ability of internet collaboration sites, Casia met singer and melodist, Christina Britton of Scotland. They are now soul sistas and have been collaborating for over two years. They are finishing their second album with composers, musicians, and mixers from around the world.
Song Description
This is a story about friendship between a man and a woman. Sometimes, one night spoils everything, when everything was perfect the way it was. When the person leaves your life it doesn't mean that you don't miss them terribly, there are other kinds of love that mean as much or more than romantic love.

Lyrics
A Million Fireflies
©2011
Casia - Lyrics
Christina Britton - vocals and melody
Bobby Watson - composition and music
(V1)
There's a reason
For the things I said
I can't take them back now
Even if I wanted to, somehow
A million fireflies, they can't find you
(V2)
I could spend the next
Twenty years or so
Making up stories
And having a go
And baby, I could say I'm sorry
But there's no glory in my worry
All I can do is try to explain
And hope you'll come home again
(Chorus)
A million fireflies can't find you
So what am I suppose to do now
A million fireflies can't light the way
Our pretend love has gone astray
(V3)
There's a reason
I can't take.. my words back
If I wanted to, it's just that
I can't hide the truth with all my lies
Somehow I'll get by ... I'll get by
Ooooooo
Somehow I'll get by
(Chorus)
A million fireflies can't find you
So what am I suppose to do now
A million fireflies can't light the way
Our pretend love has gone astray
(Bridge)
You're still the best friend I ever had
Why does one night have to change everything
It's just so sad, you'll never Know
Cause I have no way to show you
(Chorus)
A million fireflies can't find you
So what am I suppose to do now
A million fireflies can't light the way
Our pretend love has gone astray
(Outro)
A million fireflies can't find you
Ooooo Ooooo Oooo Oooo
A million fireflies can't find you
What am I suppose to do now
A million fireflies
A million fireflies
A million fireflies
Only ... they know truth
Where are you?
