Owl City - Fireflies (Lyrics)

[00:21.50] You would not believe your eyes

[00:24.25] If ten million fireflies

[00:27.00] Lit up the world as I fell asleep

[00:32.00] 'Cause they'd fill the open air

[00:34.75] And leave teardrops everywhere

[00:36.75] You'd think me rude

[00:38.15] But I would just stand and stare

[00:42.66] I'd like to make myself believe

[00:46.91] That planet Earth turns slowly

[00:52.90] It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

[00:58.41] 'Cause everything is never as it seems

[01:04.16] 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

[01:06.91] From ten thousand lightning bugs

[01:09.41] As they tried to teach me how to dance

[01:14.91] A foxtrot above my head

[01:17.40] A sock hop beneath my bed

[01:19.66] The disco ball is just hanging by a thread

[01:23.31] (Thread, thread...)

[01:25.55] I'd like to make myself believe

[01:29.55] That planet Earth turns slowly

[01:35.80] It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

[01:41.06] 'Cause everything is never as it seems

[01:45.55] (When I fall asleep)

[01:49.79] Leave my door open just a crack

[01:52.30] (Please take me away from here)

[01:54.81] 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

[01:57.29] (Please take me away from here)

[02:00.30] Why do I tire of counting sheep?

[02:03.06] (Please take me away from here)

[02:05.55] When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

[02:08.44] (Ha-ha)

[02:10.56] To ten million fireflies

[02:13.44] I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

[02:15.95] I got misty eyes as they said farewell

[02:19.20] (Said farewell)

[02:21.44] But I'll know where several are

[02:23.94] If my dreams get real bizarre

[02:25.94] 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

[02:29.69] (Jar, jar, jar...)

[02:31.95] I'd like to make myself believe

[02:36.19] That planet Earth turns slowly

[02:42.44] It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

[02:47.69] 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

[02:53.58] I'd like to make myself believe

[02:57.58] That planet Earth turns slowly

[03:03.58] It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

[03:09.07] 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

[03:14.95] I'd like to make myself believe

[03:18.96] That planet Earth turns slowly

[03:24.95] It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

[03:30.45] Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
