You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies light up the world as I fell asleep. 'Cause they'd fill the open air, and leave tear drops 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 my how to dance. A foxtrot above my head, a sock-hop beneath my bed. The disco ball is just hanging by a thread.
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 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, because my dreams are bursting at the seam.
