Fireflies - Jada Facer/Jonah Baker

作词：Adam Young

作曲：Adam Young

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'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
