Fireflies - Owl City

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

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

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
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

    • Great song, like a poetry. The saltwater room is good as well
      • : ) Saltwater Room -- Owl City

        I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light
        Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the stars that aren’t there anymore
        I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold
        So like an introvert, I drew my over shirt
        Around my arms and began to shiver violently before
        You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me
        Running into the dark underground
        All the subways around create a great sound
        To my motion fatigue: farewell
        With your ear to a seashell
        You can hear the waves in underwater caves
        As if you actually were inside a saltwater room


        Time together isn't ever quite enough
        When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home
        What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
        We need time, only time
        When we're apart, whatever are you thinking of?
        If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?
        So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
        All the time, all the time

        Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on
        All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep
        I feel as if I were home some nights, when we count all the ship lights
        I guess I'll never know why sparrows love the snow
        We’ll turn out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow
        So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
        All the time.
