French & Back > Owl City's "Fireflies"

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Because they fill the open air
And leave tear drops everywhere
You think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I would like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It is difficult to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because nothing is what it seems

Because I get a thousand hugs
Ten thousand fireflies
As they tried to teach me to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Wire , wire ... )

I would like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It is difficult to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because nothing is what it seems
( When I fall asleep )

Leave my door open just a crack
( Please take me away from here)
Because 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 too tired to fall asleep
( Ha - ha)

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird because I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(Said farewell)
But I know where several are
If my dreams get real weird
Because I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
( Pot , pot, pot ...)

I would like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It is difficult to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
