Owl City Fireflies

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 lightning bugs

As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head

A sockhop 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

Leave my door open just a crack

Cause I feel like such an insomniac

Why do I tire of counting sheep

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
