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 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 lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance, A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
Leave my door open just a crack
Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Why do I tire of a 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 a few and I keep them in a jar
I’d like to make myself believe This 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
