Fireflies By Owl City

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 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,
because everything is never as it seems

Cause i get a thousand hugs
from 10 million 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. ( 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 im asleep
because 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 insomnaic ( 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 a sleep( please take me away from here)

To ten million Fireflies
I'm weird because i hate goodbyes
i got misty eyes as they said farewell

But i'll know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
Cuz 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 i'd rather stay awake when im a sleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems.....

(when i fall sleep)
I'd like to make myself believe
that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that i'd rather be awake when im alseep
'Cause everything is never as it seems......
