Fireflies (Acoustic)

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 lightnin' bugs As they try to teach me how to dance A foxtrot above my head, a sock hop beneath my bed A disco ball is just hangin' 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 countin' 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'd save a few, and I'd 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
