Owl City

[Verse 1] 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 when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems [Verse 2] 'Cause I'd 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 [Chorus] 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) [Bridge] Leave my door open just a crack (Please take me away from here) 'Cause 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 far too tired to fall asleep? [Verse 3] 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 (Jar, jar, jar) [Chorus] 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) [Chorus] 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) [Outro] 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...
