Owl City Lyrics

9. 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 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 lightening 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 
When I fall asleep 

Leave my door open just a crack 
Please take me away from here 
Cause 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'd save a few 
And I'd keep them in a jar 

I'd like to make myself believe 
That planet earth turns slowly 
Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 
Cause 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 
Cause 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 seems
