Fireflies - owl city

you would not believe your eyes
if ten million fireflies
lit up the world as i fell asleep

cause they'd fill the open air
and leave teardrops everywhere
you'd think me rud
but i would just stand and stare

i'd like to make myself believe
that planet earth turn slowly
it's hard to say that i'd rather say
awake when i'm asleep
cause everything is never as it seems

cause i'd get a thousand hugs
from ten thousand 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 my self believe
that planet earth turn 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 insomiac
(please take me away from here)
why do i tire of couting 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 all
if my dreams get real bizarre
cause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar

i'd like to make my self believe
that planet earth turn 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 my self believe
that planet earth turn 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 my self believe
that planet earth turn slowly
it's hard to say that i'd rather stay
awake when i'm asleep
because my dreams are bursting at the seems
