Lyrics Fireflies - Sam Tsui, Kurt Schneider

Fireflies

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
