Lyrics

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 get a thousand hugs
from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they try to teach me how to dance
a foxtrot above my head
a sock-hop beneath my bed
the 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
but 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)
Oh I'll know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I stick a few
and I keep them in a
jar (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
but 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 seams
