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 tear drops 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'm 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 |
|
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread |
|
(Thread, 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'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 |
|
(Ha-ha) |
|
To ten million fireflies |
|
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes |
|
I got misty eyes as they said farewell |
|
(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 |
|
(Jar, jar, jar...) |
| [2x] |
|
|
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 |
|
'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 seams |
