Lyrics: 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, 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 catch 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 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"
But I'll Know Where Several Are
If My Dreams Get Real Bizzare
because I Saved A Few And I Keep Them In A Jar
I'd Like To make Myself Believe That the 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
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 I'd Rather Stay Awake When I'm Asleep
Because My Dreams Are Bursting At The Seams
