Fireflies by Owl City

Verse 1:

You would not believe your eyes,

if ten million fireflies, lift up the world as I fell asleep.

'Cause they'd fill the open air, and leave teardrops everwhere

You'd 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 '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 sock hop 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.

(Sr. Chorus): Leave my door open just a crack

(Jr. Chorus): Please take me away from here)

(Sr. Chorus): 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

(Jr. Chorus): Please take me away from here

(Sr. Chorus): Why do I tire of counting sheep

(Jr. Chorus): Please take me away from here

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 I'll 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 turn slowly,

It's hard to say, that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is neve as it seems when I fall asleep.

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.

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 my dreams are bursting at the seams.
