Boyhood, nonetheless Lyrics

Waste my youth alone

The fireflies are coming back

My dad calls, I don't touch the phone

The flowers come through concrete cracks

Oh, the fireflies aren't staying here

I stuff a couple in my jam jar chest

The boys are s'posed to break the glass

But I'll save em nonetheless

When June goes they'll keep growing

Small and stuck but changin' nonetheless

(Nonetheless)

I can't go back to Gramma's home

But the memories are miracles

(And the memories are old)

I'm still a boy alreadt scared of growing old

And lucky I am here at all,

I'm thankful I am here at all

Oh, the fireflies aren't staying here

I stuff a couple in my jam jar chest

The boys are s'posed to break the glass

But I'll save em nonetheless

When June goes they'll keep growing

Small and stuck but changin' nonetheless

I'm too gentle for em'

Too gentle for a man like me

I'm too gentle for em'

I stay gentle nonetheless
