Owl City - Fireflies (Lyrics)

Owl City - Fireflies (Lyric Video)
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 try to teach me how to dance
A fox-trot 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
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
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 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 say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

My dad and grandparents grew up there and lived their years back, and I also loved going. However... after we came back, my grandad fell ill, and we found out he had a tumour in his lung. He died January of next year... this song was the song that I always listened to up there, and my grandad and I would sing it together... That's why this song is held dear to me.

[@DoctorPorkenfries]

@@rowanluti4816 He never said each. Describing a total received from a group implies that they collectively gave that much. 90% of the lightning bugs wanted nothing to do with him. Hell, he never said whether or not hugs were equally distributed. It's possible some lightning bugs hugged more than once out of pity and that over 90% of the lightning bugs shunned him.

[@joshwhat4122]

Maybe he is getting a hug from ten lightning bugs at a time? Group cuddles are the best in the end!

[@sara-tc9df]

he answered each lightning bug hugged him a thousand times on Twitter. the line “you would not believe your eyes if ten million fire flies” (or something along those lines) references the amount of hugs he receives in total, as it’s physically impossible to get hugged ten million times at the same time.
