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

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
[ Owl City Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
(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

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
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

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

It reminds me of living through a struggle, like growing up. Missing your childhood, those carefree times. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. I listen to it every night before I go to bed, I can't fall asleep without it anymore.

this is one of the saddest songs in the world. type your name 3 times, your gramdma's name 2 times and your bff's name 6 times on any 3 sad song comments and you will have the luckiest day of your life unless you misspell anything, the you might die but if you type any ones name in parentheses backwards, ex: (hsoj) they will have the most unluckiest day they can ever remember. iv'e done this whenever i can tell its going to be a bad day and i all ways end up happy

"To ten million fireflies

I believe that this song is about the struggle of letting go of the past. "...hate goodbyes"

The fireflies represent the million dreams that you had as a child. As you grow up you might lose some of those dreams, but some of them you keep close to you like in a jar.

"'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare"

This part of the song (to me) is about how all of these dreams are out there and they CAN be fulfilled, but you just stand there and dont take the initiative to make those dreams happen. You've wasted time just standing while you could have achieved those dreams. And now that you're older you just want to "believe that planet earth turns slowly".
