You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies
Lay 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
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 get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A fox drawn above my head A sock hop beneath my bed
This gold ball is just hanging by a 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
Leave my door open just to crack
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Why do I tire of counting sheep
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 I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved if you and I keep them in a jar
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
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
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 my dreams are bursting at the seams
