Intro: Verse You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep Cuz they fill the open air And leave teardrops everywhere You think me rude, but I would just stand and stare I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slo..wly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cuz everything is never as it seems Verse Cuz I get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they try to teach me how to dance A foxtrot above my head A sockhop 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 slo..wly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep) Verse Leave my door open just a crack (Please take me away from here) Cuz 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 to tired to fall asleep Verse To ten million fireflies I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell) But I know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre Cuz I saved a few and I keep 'em in a jar I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slo..wly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cuz everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
