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 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)
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
