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
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I am 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 am asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
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?
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 am asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
(Hm-mm)
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I am asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
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 am 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 am asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
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?
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 am asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
(Hm-mm)
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I am asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
