| 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 rude but I’d 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 | 
| (These lyrics are trash) | 
| A foxtrot above my head | 
| A sock hop beneath my bed | 
| A disco ball 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 (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 ten million fireflies | 
| I’m weird 'cause I hate goodbyes | 
| I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell) | 
| But I’d know who several are | 
| If my dreams get real bizarre | 
| 'Cause I saved a few and I keep 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) | 
| What the heck’s up guys? | 
| It’s your boy Owl City | 
| And if you’re going through any problems | 
| Make sure you fight them with cocaine |
