Author/Performer: Owl City
You would not be-lieve your eyes,
if ten mil-lion fi-re-flies,
lit up the world as I fell a-sleep.
'Cause they'd fill the o-pen air,
and leave teardrops e-very-where.
You'd think me rude but
I would just stand and stare.
slow:
I'd like to make my-self be-lieve
that pla-net Earth turns slow-ly.
It's hard to say that I'd rather
stay awake when I'm asleep,
cause e-very-thing is ne-ver as it seems.
Cause 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
Disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to make my-self be-lieve
that pla-net Earth turns slow-ly.
It's hard to say that I'd rather
stay awake when I'm asleep,
cause e-very-thing is ne-ver as it seems.
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 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
Cause I saved a few and I keep 'em in a jar

It's hard to say that I'd rather
stay awake when I'm asleep,
Because my dreams are bursting at the seam
