Fireflies
It's been a while since I've posted. Life's been kinda crazy, but I'm sure I'll be posting more often once we hit December! The two main purposes of this entry are a lyrics post and countdowns. I'll start with the countdowns...
Countdowns
Thanksgiving: 3 weeks
Cruise: 4 weeks
My Birthday: 4 weeks, 1 day
Hanukkah: 1 month, 6 days
New Years: 1 month, 3 weeks, 5 days
We're going up to Maryland for both Thanksgiving AND New Years this year, which I'm very excited about! I can't wait to see my family and friends up there :)
And now I'll leave you with the lyrics post. This song has captivated me, and the music video is one of the most interesting I've ever seen, it literally gives me goosebumps! You can watch it on youtube here: Owl City, "Fireflies" music video. Check it out!
Owl City, "Fireflies"
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 seams
