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...
~ Owl City

These lyrics are supposed to speak about a childhood, lost. That's what I've heard at least. To me, I just like to think about a bunch of fireflies dancing ;)
