Owl City - Fireflies

[00:21.77] You would not believe your eyes

[00:24.62] If ten million fireflies

[00:27.22] Lit up the world as I fell asleep

[00:32.27] 'Cause they'd fill the open air

[00:35.07] And leave teardrops everywhere

[00:37.24] You'd think me rude

[00:38.46] But I would just stand and stare

[00:43.01] I'd like to make myself believe

[00:47.06] That planet Earth turns slowly

[00:53.68] It's hard to say that I'd rather

[00:55.66] Stay awake when I'm asleep

[00:58.85] 'Cause everything is never as it seems

[01:04.33] 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

[01:07.24] From ten thousand lightning bugs

[01:09.70] As they tried to teach me how to dance

[01:15.38] A foxtrot above my head

[01:18.04] A sock hop beneath my bed

[01:19.99] The disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)

[01:25.83] I'd like to make myself believe

[01:29.98] That planet Earth turns slowly

[01:36.11] It's hard to say that I'd rather

[01:38.36] Stay awake when I'm asleep

[01:41.25] 'Cause everything is never as it seems

[01:45.86] (When I fall asleep)

[01:49.92] Leave my door open just a crack

[01:52.75] (Please take me away from here)

[01:55.13] 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

[01:58.22] (Please take me away from here)

[02:00.64] Why do I tire of counting sheep?

[02:03.70] (Please take me away from here)

[02:05.90] When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

[02:11.01] To ten million fireflies

[02:13.62] I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

[02:16.43] I got misty eyes as they said, "Farewell"

[02:19.39] (They said farewell)

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

[02:24.57] If my dreams get real bizarre

[02:26.66] 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar, jar)

[02:32.40] I'd like to make myself believe

[02:36.63] That planet Earth turns slowly

[02:42.64] It's hard to say that I'd rather

[02:44.96] Stay awake when I'm asleep

[02:47.99] 'Cause everything is never as it seems

[02:52.28] (When I fall asleep)

[02:53.70] I'd like to make myself believe

[02:57.79] That planet Earth turns slowly

[03:03.96] It's hard to say that I'd rather

[03:06.34] Stay awake when I'm asleep

[03:09.49] 'Cause everything is never as it seems

[03:13.69] (When I fall asleep)

[03:15.13] I'd like to make myself believe

[03:19.00] That planet Earth turns slowly

[03:25.26] It's hard to say that I'd rather

[03:27.49] Stay awake when I'm asleep

[03:30.57] Because my dreams

[03:32.29] Are bursting at the seams
