This song is awesome! I love how he's talking about going to sleep in such a busy place, here on earth. How there's so much to be seen here, but the real mystery in life is our dreams, and how they're bursting at the seams to say that what we believe is real and what is real are one in the same. read more »
I love owl city. I have for about a year? Two maybe. Since april 2008 when his first ep came out on itunes. I have never doubted his writing skills. He is one artist where i can never truely make any sense of his lyrics. I think that's why i enjoy him so much. Because with him, it doesn't have to read more »
"you would not believe your eyes, if skittles were in the sky. Lit up the world as i fell asleep. 'cause they fill the open air, with colors all everywhere.

I guess its about how life can get so crazy and the artist wanted to escape that and go to his own world :)... It could also be the simple fact that nothing is ever as it seems and unfortunately neither is everyone ~tweety~

Thousand dreams, thousand hopes, without hopes, empty and meaningless

I used to play this song on my phone,until i took an arrow to the knee
The fireflies are like friends, they come and go. Some friends mean the world, and would stay and teach you how to dance. Some will make you leave teardrops everywhere. The artist was going through depression.

A song of feelings about the world. You idiets it is not to short it is long enough
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 (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 seem
