lyrics OWL CITY FIRE FLIES

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 iam sleep
cause everything is never as it seems

cause i get a thousand hugs
from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they try 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
(thread.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 iam sleep
cause everything is never as it seems
(when i fall sleep)

leave my door open just a crack
(please take me away from here)
cause i felllike such as insomniac
(please take me away from here)
why do i tire of counting sheep?
(please take me away from here)
when iam far too tired to fall asleep

to ten million fireflies
iam weird cause i hate good byes
i got misty eyes as they said farewell
(they said farewell)
but i'll know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
cause i saved a few and i keep them in  jar
jar, jar,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 iam sleep
cause everything is never as it seems
(when i fall sleep)

i'd like to make myself believe
that planet earth turns slowly
it's hard to say that i'd rather stay awake
when iam sleep
cause everything is never as it seems
(when i fall sleep)

i'd like to make myself believe
that planet earth turns slowly
it's hard to say that i'd rather stay awake
when iam sleep
because my dreams are bursting at the seems.
