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 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
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Why do I tire of counting sheep
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 seams
