Fireflies Lyrics by Rocco Botte

2015

[Verse 1]
You would not believe your eyes
If fifteen million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fall asleep
'Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and
Stare

[Hook]
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

[Verse 2]
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance, ahahahahahaha
A foxtrot above my head
A sock drop beneath my bed
The disco ball is just hanging by a
Motherfucking thread

[Hook]
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
We fall asleep

[Bridge]
Leave my door open just a crack
(P... Take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such a n'isomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire f-from counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired
To fall asleep
Haa!

[Verse 3]
To ten million lighter flies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said
Peace the fuck out!
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved
And I keep them
In a motherfucking jar

[Outro]
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!
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

Make myself believe
That planet Earth turns, woo! slowly

[Speaking]
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams!
Aaaoooogh!

(Fuck you!)
