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 sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, 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 (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 (jar, jar)
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)
