Fireflies

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
Youd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
Id 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 try to teach me how to dance
A fox trot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
Id 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
（Farewell）
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I'd save a few
And I'd keep them in a jar
Id 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）
Id 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 seems
