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'd 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
