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 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 lightening 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'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 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 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 everythingis 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 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
