Owl City - Fireflies
You would not believe your eyes,
if ten million fireflies
lit up the world as i fell asleep.
'Cause they fill the open air
and leave tear drops everywhere.
You'd think me rude but I will 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
cause everything is never as it seems.
Cause 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 sock hop beneath my bed,
A disco ball is just hanging by a 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,
cause everything is never as it seems.
(When i fell 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 too tired to fall asleep.
To ten million fireflies,
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes.
I got misty eyes as they said farewell.
But I'll know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre.
Cause I saved a few and I keep them 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,
cause everything is never as it seems.
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,
cause everything is never as it seems.
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...
