Fireflies

You would not believe your eyes
眼前景象令你難以置信
If ten million fireflies
如果有一千萬隻螢火蟲
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
當我遨遊夢鄉時照亮整個世界

Cause they fill the open air
因為它們漫天飛舞
And leave teardrops everywhere
化作淚珠灑落各處
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
你會覺得我很粗魯但我偏要佇立而視

I'd like to make myself believe
我想讓自己相信
That planet earth turns slowly
地球在緩緩轉動
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
這令我難以言說
Awake when I'm asleep
在熟睡時我寧願保持清醒
Cause everything is never as it seems
因為一切從不會是所見之景

Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
我願意得到無數次擁抱
From ten thousand lightning bugs
來自千萬螢火蟲的問好
As they tried to teach me how to dance
它們試圖教我如何跳舞

A foxtrot above my head
一個狐步劃過頭頂
A sockhop beneath my bed
短襪微步拂過床底
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
細線懸掛燈球照亮迪斯科舞會

I'd like to make myself believe
我想讓自己相信
That planet earth turns slowly
地球在緩緩轉動
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
這令我難以言說
Awake when I'm asleep
在熟睡時我寧願保持清醒
Cause everything is never as it seems
因為一切從不會是所見之景
When I fall asleep
當我沉入夢境

Leave my door open just a crack
給門留下一道縫隙
Please take me away from here
請帶我從這裡逃離
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
漫長的夜晚我輾轉無眠
Please take me away from here
請帶我從這裡逃離
Why do I tire of counting sheep
數羊漸漸變得困倦
Please take me away from here
請帶我從這裡逃離
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
雙眼疲憊難以入眠

To ten million fireflies
那數千萬隻螢火蟲
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
討厭告別讓我顯得古怪
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
揮手道別早已淚眼朦朧
But I'll know where several are
但我知道有些要去何方
If my dreams get real bizarre
如果我的夢能稀奇古怪
Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
存入罐中讓微光以永恆

I'd like to make myself believe
我想讓自己相信
That planet earth turns slowly
地球在緩緩轉動
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
這令我難以言說
Awake when I'm asleep
在熟睡時我寧願保持清醒
Cause everything is never as it seems
因為一切從不會是所見之景
When I fall asleep
當我沉入夢境
I'd like to make myself believe
我想讓自己相信
That planet earth turns slowly
地球在緩緩轉動
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
這令我難以言說
Awake when I'm asleep
在熟睡時我寧願保持清醒
Cause everything is never as it seems
因為一切從不會是所見之景
When I fall asleep
當我沉入夢境
I'd like to make myself believe
我想讓自己相信
That planet earth turns slowly
地球在緩緩轉動
It's hard to say I' d rather stay
這令我難以言說
Awake when I'm asleep
在熟睡時我寧願保持清醒
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
因為夢境在現實裂隙中綻放
