1
[Verse 1]
2
You would not believe your eyes
3
If ten million fireflies
4
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
5
'Cause they'd fill the open air
6
And leave teardrops everywhere
7
You'd think me rude
8
But I would just stand and stare
9
[Chorus]
10
I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
11
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
12
'Cause everything is never as it seems
13
[Verse 2]
14
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
15
As they tried to teach me how to dance
16
A foxtrot above my head
17
A sock hop beneath my bed
18
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
19
[Chorus]
20
I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
21
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
22
'Cause everything is never as it seems when I fall asleep
23
[Bridge]
24
Leave my door open just a crack
25
(Please take me away from here)
26
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
27
(Please take me away from here)
28
Why do I tire of counting sheep
29
(Please take me away from here)
30
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
31
To ten million fireflies
32
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
33
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
34
But I'll know where several are
35
If my dreams get real bizarre
36
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
37
[Chorus]
38
I'd like to make myself believe
39
That planet Earth turns slowly
40
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
41
Awake when I'm asleep
42
'Cause everything is never as it seems
43
When I fall asleep
44
I'd like to make myself believe
45
That planet Earth turns slowly
46
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
47
Awake when I'm asleep
48
'Cause everything is never as it seems
49
When I fall asleep
50
I'd like to make myself believe
51
That planet Earth turns slowly
52
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
53
Awake when I'm asleep
54
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
