PLEASE HELP IT'S PRETTY EASY Examine these lyrics from "Fireflies" by Owl City:

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

And leave teardrops everywhere

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
