Fireflies

Song by Owl City

You would not believe
your eyes If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as
I fell asleep

‘Cause they’d fill the open air
And leave teardrops
everywhere

You’d 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
‘Cause everything is
never as it seems

‘Cause I’d get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me
how to dance

A fox-trot 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
Leave my door open
just a crack

‘Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
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
Because my dreams are
bursting at
the seams
