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
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 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

This song came on while I was at work I had forgotten all about it. When I was in high school every morning this song would come on TV. This song was apart of my childhood. Wow 💙💙💙💙

this is so good to loop so goooooooooooooood
haha, never really liked this song but it sure does bring back memories.
I miss this song 😔
Why do I get tik tok compilations in my recommend and not this
This is song is the definition of MP3 player for me.
*in 2010
My mom: pissed off because this song won't stop playing
6 year old me: I LIKE TO MAKE MYSELF BELIEVE-
Save the DEMONYMS pleassssseee.
46 years old here, and in all my years, and all the songs I've heard and loved, this is in my top 10.
whoelse gets that nostalgia so bad they just searched up the song to bring back memories
720P Version Please
by far my favorite song. and its suprisingly old
It’s been so long since I listen to this
Glad I remembered this song existed
I'd like to make my self think that planet Earth turns slowly
But its gone and we all just wish that it could come back
This song takes me back and I remember when I was an innocent kid, but know I'm crying from depression 🥀
The Dooo ?
Ten years, still remembered.
Omg it's 11 yrs old now holy shite i miss good ol times
The sad thing is, I've never seen an actual firefly in my life, at least to my memory. And it's not like I'm a kid...
I can’t believe this song is 10 years old
I literally thought it just came out
Don’t bully me I’m 10
Like this song
I’m old
😭
no one:
me: plays FireFlies in 2020
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they 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
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)
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)

and kids in my school love this song
I want to listen to the song I was little
Damn I'm getting nostalgic
To me this song is like a movie. It’s so good you don’t want to stop watching it; you just want more
Sadly, I came here after I heard it on kidzbop
When I sleep,
I dream that I was asleep,
And that I had more than 10 subscribers.
Hey Adam young i'm already 20's thanks for the great memories
2020 and still coming back
I only listen to drill but this song is hard ❤️🤟🏿‼️
I came cause gahoole or something like this, it was a movie when I was a kid

I really need those hugs from those fireflies
Gonna miss the good ol days
I wish you knew when you were in the good old days before they were gone
That's the quote from the office right
