Fireflies (Live)

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 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
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I 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
'Cause I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I've got misty eyes as they 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

I 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

I 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 like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
