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 seams
