Fire Files Lyric - Owl City

You would not believe your eyes
 If ten million fireflies
 Lit up the world as I fell asleep
 Cuz they fill the open air
 And leave teardrops everywhere
 You 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
 Cuz everything is never as it seems

Cuz 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 sockhop beneath my bed
 The 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
 Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
 (Please take me away from here)
 Cuz 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 to tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
 I’m weird cuz I hate goodbyes
 I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)
 But I know where several are
 If my dreams get real bizarre
 Cuz I saved a few and I keep ‘em 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
 Cuz 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
 Cuz 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
