Fireflies by Owl City
You would not believe your eyes
If 10,000,000 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

Chorus:
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 1,000 hugs from 10,000 lighting bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A fox trot above my head, a sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
Thread, thread

Chorus:
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
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 10,000,000 fireflies
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
Said farewell
But I know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cuz I saved a few and I keep 'em in a jar

Chorus:
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
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
