If I had a xanga, I would put this song in the "Currently Listening To" section.
"Fireflies" by Owl City.
They may be my new Band of Horses. I've gotta splurge and buy their CD.
Yes, $10-$15 is a splurge for my broke ass.
It's so awesome. I love it. The Postal Service-esque music and sound, and this other quality I cannot place right now. It is great. Life is so much better in your dreams. Ah, the romantic in me gasps a breath of fresh air...
Oh, so good, it makes me joyous inside. God created music. Amen. Halle Lu Jah.
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 tear drops 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 my how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock-hop beneath my bed
The 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
(Ha-ha)
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, 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
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams...

Come on. They're an obvious Postal Service rip off. The guy is even trying to sound like Ben. The song is catchy though.
I still like it. Why do you have to pick on me like an older brother all the time? I'm telling Jenny.
