Pennies In A Jar

All I recall are fireworks and fireflies
That lit the sky
Seem to imply, if I could catch them,
Why couldn't I, bottle up the stars, pennies in a jar,
That's how I saw the world.
Every sea shell held apart.
And I thought my heart was part of a story,
Novel and new.
Something that I could tell my dreams to.
What did I do?
Filled it up with stars, pennies in a jar.
And I earned everyone,
Nothing burns quite like the sun.
When the shadows fall, I lose my place and can't recall
Why did I dare to fly? What was gained?
So I search for silver, lost out in the rain
I think I finally found it.
There's a change inside me, there a change in all I see, oh
little change
Some days are grey, but others are gilded with victory.
They used to be what made life rich.
But now I can see,
Days for what they are
Pennies in a jar, I will spend with you,
I will spend with you.
