Owl City - Fireflies

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 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 try to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sockhop beneath my bed
The 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 to tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)
But I know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few and I keep 'em 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 seam

Fireflies by Owl City is my good mood - song. It's lyrics are empty of sense, but they're fun to sing along with. I've put the video with the original song and a remix I enjoy sometimes with friends.

I like the song because of it's lack of sense, it's something fresh for me, as I only know songs with lots of meaning. Too many symbols can be tiring, and then this song is very nice to hear. It's also a song that means a lot to me: I heard it a lot the first days with two of my best friends. Fireflies always reminds me of them and makes me think about moments I shared with them: laughs, our insider jokes... I always pass a really good time with them and it's nice to remember.

There's a line in the song that fits me quite well: "Please take me away from here". It makes me think about bad times i had and my wish to study in Germany. I think it can become true!

After all, it's a song I'm listening to all the time and I wouldn't like to miss it at all!
