You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd 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
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 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 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
Because my dreams are bursting
at the seems
