Owl City – Fireflies Lyrics  Share

From Owl City's album: Ocean Eyes

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
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 lightening bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance.
A foxtrot above my head,
A sock-hop beneath my bed,
The 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.
(Please take me away from here.)
[ Fireflies lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/o/owl-city/fireflies/ ]
Cause I feel like such an insomniac.
(Please take me away from here.)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(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 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
