Owl City - Fireflies (Lyrics)

Owl City - Fireflies (Lyric Video)

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 try to teach me how to dance
A fox-trot above my head
A sock-hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just 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
Leave my door open just a crack
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
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
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
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
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
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

*11* _years_

[thisdogwillhauntyou]

You would not believe your eyes, if you saw me socialize.
-Me, an introvert.
Update: It's 2021 during Covid, this did NOT age well!

[thelocalstoner]

I don’t know why this song makes me so sad, but in a good way. I don’t even know how to describe it

[SpeedyGamezMC]

Was 6 when I first heard this. Turned 19 today and I just wanna thank these nostalgic songs for always being there for me

[sunsetspectre]

I saved a baby firefly from drowning in my pool yesterday. Fireflies are one of the few bugs I'm okay with touching.

[donovancervantes]

As time continues, this song is time frozen for us early 2000s children.

[aaronsowski]

Listening to this song during quarantine is quite nice



Oh the memories~

[splendid]

thank you gen z teenagers, for proving to me that the “now THIS was real music” thing is universal

[wqqfbet]

“Please take me away from here.”

My motto in school.

"A disco ball is just hanging by a thread"
*People realising why there was a panic at the disco*
the thread

[PatrickPierceBateman]

This song makes me feel like nothing can go wrong.

[wakevikingcards]

This came out when I was 15 loved it then now at 28 and 2 kids of my own hits even harder such a good tune

[JELLY-bsrl]

If this doesn’t play at my funeral, I ain’t dying

[Daisiabk]

Four days into 2020 and I'm still here. Never gets old.

[charmaineross]

I feel so old watching this.. I remember me and my brother listening to this for hours, hanging out and talking, or just playing catch. All the laughs and smiles, all our ups and downs. It hurts honestly. Brings tears to my eyes to see how fast we grow up.

[lovelyldragon]

This song feels like the epitome of a random childhood memory that you can't distinguish from a fever dream or something that actually happened. But it still makes you happy and nostalgic.

[arsenaltravgaming]

Time Traveler: what are you listening to?

Me: Fireflies by Owl city

Time Traveler: You mean the national anthem?

Me: wut

[astronxmial]

Children of 2000s are the most blessed in terms of music, we had everything, kids now have Gucci gang.

[clwnyychps]

I’m listening to this almost 11 years from now it’s 2020

[andrewkois]

This song dropped in mid July 2009. I had just turned 17 and was about to start grade 12. That summer was amazing and so was grade 12. The music was so amazing back then. Nostalgia is such a wild feeling💙
