最近很喜歡的一首歌...每次聽到都很想躺在沙灘上,吹海風看星星..畢竟fireflies不是那麼容易見到,更何況現在冬天了大概這些蟲蟲都飛不起來了吧...

owl city - Fireflies(螢火蟲)

Lyrics歌詞

You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies

light up the world as I fell asleep

cause they 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 than I'm asleep

- - I think I'll have a cold drink rather than coffee. 我想要冷飲，不要咖啡。
  - Why didn't you ask for help, rather than trying to do it on your own? 你幹嗎非得自己幹，而不請人幫忙？

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 than 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

英語一點通

lightning bugs=firefly(螢火蟲單數)複數為 fireflies

sock hop 赤襪舞會;柔和的珊瑚色Sock
hop or soc hop (rarely) is a term coined in the 50s in the United
States, following the growth in popularity of rock and roll, to refer
