Owl City-Fireflies lyrics

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`d 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 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


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

`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 ill 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
`Cause my dreams are bursting at the seams
