Intro : (2x)
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fe ll asl eep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
and leave teardrops everywhere
you'd think me rude but I'd just stand and stare
I'd like to ma ke myself believe
that planet Earth turn s slo wly
Its hard to say that I' d rather sta y awak e when I'm asleep
'Cause everything i s never as it seems
'Cause id get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
a sockhop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to ma ke myself believe
that planet Earth turn s slo wly
Its hard to say that I' d rather sta y awak e when I'm asleep
'Cause everything i s never as it seems
When I fall asleep
leav e 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
but ill know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
'cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
I'd like to ma ke myself believe
that planet Earth turn s slo wly
Its hard to say that I' d rather sta y awak e when I'm asleep
'Cause everything i s never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to ma ke myself believe
that planet Earth turn s slo wly
Its hard to say that I' d rather sta y awak e when I'm asleep
'Cause everything i s never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to ma ke myself believe
that planet Earth turn s slo wly
Its hard to say that I' d rather sta y awak e when I'm asleep
Because my dreams a re bursting at th e seams...
