Owl City - Fireflies (Lyrics)

[00:21.62] You would not believe your eyes

[00:24.69] If ten million fireflies

[00:27.37] Lit up the world as I fell asleep

[00:32.59] 'Cause they'd fill the open air

[00:35.01] And leave teardrops everywhere

[00:37.20] You'd think me rude

[00:38.49] But I would just stand and stare

[00:42.77] ♪

[00:43.07] I'd like to make myself believe

[00:47.07] That planet Earth turns slowly

[00:53.25] It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

[00:58.67] 'Cause everything is never as it seems

[01:04.05] ♪

[01:04.35] 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

[01:06.98] From ten thousand lightning bugs

[01:09.73] As they tried to teach me how to dance

[01:15.10] A foxtrot above my head

[01:17.97] A sock hop beneath my bed

[01:19.74] A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

[01:23.95] (Thread, thread...)

[01:41.35] 'Cause everything is never as it seems

[01:45.68] (When I fall asleep)

[01:49.56] ♪

[01:49.86] Leave my door open just a crack

[01:53.07] (Please take me away from here)

[01:55.12] 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

[01:58.06] (Please take me away from here)

[02:00.48] Why do I tire of counting sheep?

[02:03.88] (Please take me away from here)

[02:05.82] When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

[02:09.67] (Ha-ha)

[02:10.69] ♪

[02:10.99] To ten million fireflies

[02:13.74] I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

[02:16.24] I got misty eyes as they said farewell

[02:19.52] (Said farewell)

[02:21.68] But I'll know where several are

[02:24.29] If my dreams get real bizarre

[02:26.57] 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

[02:29.95] (Jar, jar, jar...)
