You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause theyd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
Youd think me rude
But I just stand and stare
Id like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that Id rather stay
Awake when Im asleep
everything is never as it seems
I fall asleep
litlle will fall asleep
Cause Id get a thousand hugs
ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me
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
Id like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that Id rather stay
Awake when Im asleep
Cause everything is never
as it seems
When I fall asleep
baby When I fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
Im weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said
farewell
But Ill know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few and I keep
them in a jar
Id like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that Id rather stay
Awake when Im asleep
Cause everything is never
as it seems
