The Fireflies Domination

Fireflies.

Fireflies.

Aaaannnnd more Fireflies.

It's been all over the radio, this Owl City song. I've been hearing it two to three times a day. As a result, it's now stuck in my head almost daily.

It's not that I'm complaining. I actually like the song. I'll put the lyrics in.


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
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
(Chorus)
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake while 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 fox trot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball just hanging by a thread
(Chorus)
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake while I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel such an insomaniac
(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
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as 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
(Chorus)
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I rather stay
Awake while 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 as I fell 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 while I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
