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 sockhop beneath my bed
A disco ball is
Just hanging by a
Thread
(Thread,
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
(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
(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
'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)
