Fireflies

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep
趁我熟睡時照亮整個世界

Cause they fill the open air

And leave teardrops everywhere
把淚珠灑滿世界
Youd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
或許你覺得我無禮但我執意要站著凝視

Id like to make myself believe

That planet earth turns slowly
這世界仍在悄然改變
Its hard to say that Id rather stay
我難以表述當我熟睡時
Awake when Im asleep
我寧願保持清醒
Cause everything is never as it seems
因為一切事物絕不能只看表面

Cause Id get a thousand hugs
因為我會收到無數個擁抱
From ten thousand lightning bugs
來自千萬隻螢火蟲的溫暖擁抱
As they tried to teach me how to dance
它們試圖教我如何跳舞

A foxtrot above my head
在我頭頂它們劃著狐步舞
A sockhop beneath my bed
在我床邊它們跳起長襪舞
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
像正在進行一場迪斯科舞會

Id like to make myself believe
我想使自己相信
That planet earth turns slowly
這世界仍在悄然改變

Leave my door open just a crack
把我的門留一條縫隙吧
Please take me away from here
請帶我遠離這裡
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
因為我就像一位失眠者
Please take me away from here
請帶我遠離這裡
Why do I tire of counting sheep
我早已厭倦了數羊遊戲
Please take me away from here
請帶我遠離這裡
When Im far too tired to fall asleep
當我實在睏意難忍沉沉睡去

To ten million fireflies
那千萬隻螢火蟲吶
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
我心頭莫名悲傷因為我討厭離別
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
當它們對我說再見時我淚眼朦朧
But Ill know where several are
但我知道它們將去往何處
If my dreams get real bizzare
如果我的夢能更異想天開
Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
因為我會把它們留下一些放到瓶子裡
