owl city fireflies

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

cos they'd fillt he 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
cos everything is never as it seems

cos i'd get a thousand hugs
from ten thousand lightning bugs
asthey 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

(chorus)

leave my door open just a crack
*(please take me away from here)
cos i feel like such an insomniac
*
why do i tire of counting sheep
*
when im far too tired to fall asleep

to ten million fireflies
i'm weird cos i hate goodbyes
i got misty eyes as they said farewell

but i'll know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
cos i saved a few and i keep them in a jar

(chorus)
