Owl City:

Fireflies Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
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

[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
'Cause everything is never as it seems

[Verse 2]
'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

[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
'Cause everything is never as it seems (When I fall asleep)

[Bridge]
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?

[Verse 3]
To ten million fireflies, I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
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 a jar (Jar, jar, jar)

[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
'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)

[Outro]
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

This song holds a special place in my heart. So many childhood memories surrounding it.

[FDietzNutz]

I remember recording this on my MP3 player using a YouTube recording all those years ago. This song would get me through my cold winter morning rides on my bike to school. When it came on, it would fill me with the warmth I needed.

Dear stranger,
I’m writing this to tell you that you’re not alone in this universe... it’s okay to feel down for a moment in life, but always remember that the light will come and everything has a solution even if we feel like there isn’t... if you are studying now and you feel lost or cannot concentrate, please do not compare yourself to others. You don’t know anything about them and the same for you. Take a break. Laugh. Enjoy your alone time and cherish yourself. And please never forget that everyone in this world shine but each one of us has a different light. You don’t have to be like any other person. Love yourself! Love your alone time and enjoy this journey in life! It’s short so make the most out of it! All my love and support for the ones who are struggling!!!

I spent my childhood well listening to this song. So nostalgic.

[tigerpunch]

Is it even possible to listen to this song without feeling like a kid again?

[deeannalynn]

This almost made me cry thinking about the time when I was young and me and my mom would catch fireflies every year.

[ririecariman]

The music makes me feel high but then makes me depressed after realizing my life is sucks. Now i’m smiling while my tears flowing down my cheeks

[SkyworldCh]

" I'd Like To Make Myself Believe That Planet Earth Turns Slowly" Very relatable to me

[Dgacha]

As a teen currently, it’s a good song indeed

[cadenseale]

I remember being in grade school and this banger on Just Dance would make my day

[jk-ruwz]

Hey, child me. Do you remember this song? We had this McDonald's toy with that snippet from this song, we stumbled our way through the unknown Latin letters, and after lots of error, we found the YouTube songs on our dad's computer. And we were, I was, so enamoured of this song. Some days I would play it in the morning before I left for school, not the video, but that small McDonald's snippet, like a good luck charm of shorts.

Do you remember, little me?
I remember.

[gsfljnb]

I love how the bell ring slowly stopping at the end 🥰

[introverted-into]

one thing that has a place in my heart is this
ever since my childhood i listened to this
ahh nostalgia

[Queenlandproject_]

I miss my childhood. This song reminds me of several years ago with my friends. 😫😓

[HarryPotterfanmovies]

For the young people it might not mean much but when your older this song means a lotttt
