Fireflies - Owl City

1.
You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as i fell asleep
Cos they’d fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere
You’d think me rude but I’d just stand and stare
Ref.1
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
Cos everything is never as it seems
2.
Cos I’d get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head, a sockhop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
Ref.2
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
Cos everything is never as it seems, when I fall asleep
Brid.
Leave my door open - just a crack (Please take me away from here)
Cos 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 —
3.
To ten million fireflies I’m weird cos I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I’ll know where several are if my dreams get real bizarre
Cos I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

Out.
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…
