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 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 todance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
Repeat*
(When I fall asleep)
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)
Wht do I tire to 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 dream get real bizarre
'Cause I save a few and I keep them in a jar
Repeat*
(When I fall asleep)
Repeat*
(When I fall asleep)
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting as the seams.
