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 [bad word] but I'd just stand and stare 
 [bad word] ] 
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 me how to dance 
foxtrot above my head 
sockhop beneath my bed 
disco ball is just hanging by a thread 

[Repeat [bad word] ] 

When 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 

[Repeat [bad word] ] (2x) 

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 my dreams are bursting at the seams
