Owl City - 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
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'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
(Thread, 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
(When I fall asleep)
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
(Ha-ha)
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(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...)
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)
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)
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

"cause i saved a few and keep in a jar" the fireflies are the person we met that we are not longer connected with anymore, like especially old friends and classmates before

It was 2009 since I enjoy listening this song and now it's 2024 good old days nostalgic memorie😭

The first time I heard this I was 3 and the second time I heard it was at a grocery store when I was 15. So it was extremely nostalgic cause I hadn't even heard it once in between 3 and 15.

I was in 1st year high school when this song came out. Loved Owl City so much since then. Now my 7 y/o daughter sings along to this song, too. That's how beautiful Owl City's songs are, not to mention child-friendly, too.

I want you, whoever you are reading this comment to do something for me. Whoever you were with most of the time when you first heard this song, family, friends, etc., go tell them you love them and hug them tight if you can. Don't worry about how awkward it may feel, or how hard it may be because of a recent disagreement or fight. Just do it. My mother is gone, and I remember so many memories with her around the time this song came out, her taking me to breakfast for a mother & son day on my birthday and then taking me to Gamestop to pick up what was the last copy of a game i really wanted all the way to our first trip to Disney World in Florida (my first time on a plane). I have so many memories of her telling me to get off the phone with my then girlfriend cause it was 2am and i had school the next day all while this song played in the background on one of those "teen music" channels on TV. I can't tell my Mother I love her in person anymore or hug her tight in my arms. This song is one of the only comforts I have to remember a simpler time when everything (as far as I knew) was relatively okay. So please, don't be like me, go hug them and tell them that you love them while you still can. Don't worry about liking this comment, just reply if you did it so I know you did or don't if you don't want to but please go hug them and let them know how much you love them.

​@@SeishunaStars the background is from an anime movie called "Grave of the fireflies. If you haven't watched it yet. I recommend it to you, you'll know why it's depressing after.

​@@shanelle2471sure the anime is sad but grave thing doesn't always have to be depressing, that what i'm wanted to say. Even if it's comming from a anime
