You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit 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 when I'm asleep 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 sockhop 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 when 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
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'd lke To make myself believe That Planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
