    I've been a fan of Owl City for 25 years now. I still remember when I was a child, sitting with my dad in front of our clunky computer, and he played Owl City's music. I was immediately captivated by the melodies, the catchy lyrics, and the passionate performance of the singer. That's when I fell in love with Owl City, and I've loved them ever since, including their song 'Good Time'. I started searching online for information, interesting facts, and behind-the-scenes tidbits about Owl City, and the more I learned, the more I loved them. Despite the ups and downs of life over the years, my love for Owl City has never wavered.

    The Meaning To This Song Is *Fireflies is the yearning to go back to their childhood. The Fireflies in the song when someone is catching them is a child because a child would catch Fireflies. Also this song talks about how quickly our childhood leaves us as we grow up*

      that's interesting, yea but fr though when your a child ur life just goes by in a flash. I think its because when you really miss being a kid u feel like it was so fast even though it wasn't and u just want to spend more time being a kid.

      Welp, here’s the lyrics anyways:
      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 (thread, 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 (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 (jar, 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)
