fireflies

New single by Owl City. Awesome song. Give it a listen.

"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 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

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

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?
T-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

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

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to sat that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams."

So that's the song. I really love the music and the lyrics.

As usual, not much to say. It's just a normal Saturday morning. But my mind is filled with fireflies.
