Fireflies

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
Its hard to say 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 lighting 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
Its hard to say 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)
I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Plese take me away from here)
When I'm way 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 know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I've saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say 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
Its hard to say 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
Its hard to say I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause my dreams are bursting at the seams
