Owl City - Fireflies (Lyrics)

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 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 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 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
(Ha-ha)

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(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 a 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 I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

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)

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
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Owl City - Fireflies

[dbwwraith]

Brings back so many memories from my childhood man

[ardiegarcia]

Every time I hear this song nostalgia suddenly hits me and cry silently

[RomanticMelodies]

We don't search for old songs,
we search for old memories.❤

I was in 1st year high school when this song came out. Loved Owl City so much since then. Now my 7 y/o daughter sings along to this song, too. That's how beautiful Owl City's songs are, not to mention child-friendly, too.

"cause i saved a few and keep in a jar" the fireflies are the person we met that we are not longer connected with anymore, like especially old friends and classmates before

[JayDcampo]

Can't wait to see the fireflies this summer and today is my Birthday 🎉🎉🎉

[Mrbeakybird]

The first time I heard this I was 3 and the second time I heard it was at a grocery store when I was 15. So it was extremely nostalgic cause I hadn't even heard it once in between 3 and 15.

[KodaJoy]

nothing better than thos songs that bringback the beat memories <3.

[Family_Fancy]

lagu yang mengingatkan aku dengan sahabatku yang bernama TITIS. dimana waktu kecil kami seringkali bermain bersama dan tidak pernah tidur siang haha. kangen sekali dengan momen itu, kita tumbuh bersama dan dipisahkan dengan cita-cita.

iirc this came out when call of duty mw2 was released. i just got a huge flashback of me sitting playing cod with this on in the background, i didn't realise such good memories could make you cry so many tears.
