Fireflies (Owl City)
Fireflies (Owl City) Lyrics & Chords
This is one of the most played songs on the radio lately. Very simple melody and lyrics and yet extremely catchy. I particularly loved doing the harmonies in this one… Fun song!
This goes out to my dear sis who happens to love this song…… Hope you like it di…
Original Artist: Owl City
Song: Fireflies
Cover Vocals and Harmonies: George Kuruvilla
Lyrics:
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

Georgy As always fantastic and wonderful music:)
MUSIC IS NOT ABOUT LANGUAGE, and pertaining to any Country. Even if one does not understand the lang; still music is MUSIC and it does ease out every Soul.
MANKIND has always been craving for music:)
Music makes my me breathe, ease and freak out :)
We say – WE ALL ARE UNITED IN MUSIC – he he
All my love /5 and sure for my fav’.
thanks a lot for sharing.
MUSIC is the language of the soul!

but you have done it amazingly George. could not find any differences between the original and this .
loved it.

Serves me right for not listening to the radio, had no clue a song like this existed :(
Neat rendition, particularly liked your harmonies. 0.44-1.03….voice sounds downright awesome in the lower registers. Does “pls take me away from here” when it comes alternately have a telephonic effect/similar? )
Enjoyed this one immensely, to my favs…
