Fireflies (If Ten Million 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.
You think me rude but I would just stand and stare.
I'd like to make myself beleive
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 get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lighting bugs
as they try to teach me how to dance.
A foxtrot above my head
a sockhop beneath my bed
the disco ball is just hanging by a thread.
I'd like to make myself beleive
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.
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 from counting sheep? (Please take me away from here.)
When I find a time to fall asleep.
To ten million fireflies, I'm weird because I hate goodbyes.
I get misty eyed as they say farewell. (say farewell)
But I know where several are,
if my dreams get real bizarre
'cause I saved a few and I keep 'em in a jar.
I'd like to make myself beleive
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 beleive
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.
I'd like to make myself beleive
that planet earth turns slowly.
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep.
'Cause my dreans are bursting at the seams.
