Owl City
Album: Ocean Eyes

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.
(When I fall asleep)

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.
(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)
(x2)

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.

I don’t usually use the word ‘cute’ to describe a song, but this song is amazingly cute and fun. Take a listen and feel happy
