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

Cuz 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 head

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

Cause I feel like such a insomniac

Why do I tire of counting sheep

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies

I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are

I my dreams get real bizarre

Cuz I save 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
