Fireflies - Live From Spotify NYC

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
'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
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread

[Chorus]
I'd like to make myself bеlieve
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rathеr stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep

[Bridge]
Leave my door open just a crack
Please take me away from here
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
I'm far too tired to fall asleep

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns so 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 so slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
I fall asleep
When I fall asleep

[Outro Interview: Adam Young & Interviewer]
So that song, you've sold millions and millions of copies of that song in all sorts of formats, um, and then you guys just came out and released "The Midsummer Station". Did you feel a lot of pressure as you were putting songs together for the new record?

Not...not conscious, sort of direct pressure, but I think it was the kind of pressure that makes you wanna be on your A-game, and stay on it all the time, because now, since that song met way more success than I'd ever, ever imagined, now it's like I have, I feel like I have a lot more purpose behind writing. 'Cause now, there's maybe more ears gonna check out what I do, and, and, you know stay tuned to that, so, um, it's good pressure, it keeps you on your toes, and, you know, it's, it's easy to overthink it if you let it get like, you know, "I'm, am I a flash in the pan?" you know, and like what do I do to be what I've done, but, you just gotta do what you do and make sure what you do is pure, from the heart, you know, and if your intentions are solid, then you've done your job. So yeah. Um, so yeah we have uh, we've got two more, if you're, if you're into it, uh, this one's called Shooting Star:
