Owl City – Fireflies lyrics

You would not believe your eyes
To ten million fireflies
lit up the room as I fell asleep
'cause they fill the open air
and leave tear drops everywhere
you 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
when I 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
'case my dreams get real bizarre
'cause I saved a few and kept 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

a foxtrot above my head, a sackhop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread
