Daphne's POV
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world when I fell asleep
I love this song. It always gave me the idea of what would happen after I fell asleep.
Cause' they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I'd just stand and stare
It made me imagine those little bugs of light buzzing around my room, as if in a rhythm. Like those light up fans. Yeah.
I'd make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I would rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Cause' everything is never as it seems
That is my favorite verse because it describes Ferryport Landing so well. It seems like a regular town, but in reality, it is home to lots of Everafters.
Cause' I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten million lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
I can imagine lots of little lights hugging me, trying to teach me how to dance. Do lightning bugs know the Cupid Shuffle?
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread.
What the heck is a sock hop? A foxtrot? Anyone? Cause' I got nothing.
I'd make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I would rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Cause' everything is never as it seems
Chorus, classic. He sings that part really well. I would rather stay awake, too. But Granny said my bedtime is 8:45 or something.
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 way too tired to fall asleep
I hate counting sheep. It is really boring.1…2…..3…..I love counting I school but, I hate it outside of school. I leave that to Granny or Sabrina. Even though Sabrina is more like a dictionary.
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 love catching fireflies. One foster parent we went to used their light-up bottoms for earrings. And she made me and Sabrina go out to catch them every night.
I'd make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I would rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Cause' everything is never as it seems
I'd make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I would rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Cause' everything is never as it seems
[I fall asleep]
I'd make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I would rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Cause' my dreams are bursting at the seams
Is the CD player broken? He keeps saying the same thing. Eh, I like it. I think the point of the song is that anything can happen.
"Including Puck and Sabrina!" I accidently shouted out loud.
Sabrina looked out of her room and shouted back, "ENOUGH WITH THE SOULMATES CRAP!"
Classic Sabrina.
