Owl City – Fireflies

You would not believe your eyes 
If ten million fireflies 
Lit up the world as I fell asleep 
Cuz they fill the open air 
And leave teardrops everywhere 
You think me rude, but I would just stand and stare

I’d like to make myself believe 
That planet earth turns slowly 
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep 
Cuz everything is never as it seems

Cuz I get a thousand hugs 
From ten thousand lightning bugs 
As they try to teach me how to dance 
A foxtrot above my head 
A sockhop beneath my bed 
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)

I’d like to make myself believe 
That planet earth turns slowly 
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep 
Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack 
(Please take me away from here) 
Cuz I feel like such an insomniac 
(Please take me away from here) 
Why do I tire of counting sheep? 
(Please take me away from here) 
When I’m far to tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies 
I’m weird cuz I hate goodbyes 
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell) 
But I know where several are 
If my dreams get real bizarre 
Cuz I saved a few and I keep ‘em in a jar

I’d like to make myself believe 
That planet earth turns slowly 
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep 
Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I’d like to make myself believe 
That planet earth turns slowly 
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep 
Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I’d like to make myself believe 
That planet earth turns slowly 
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep 
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
