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
Hook 1
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
Verse 2
'Cause I'd Get A Thousand Hugs From Ten Thousand Lightning Bugs
As They Tried To 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 (Thread, Thread...)

Verse 3
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 (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 (Jar, Jar, Jar...)
Hook Ending [Cool Down]
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
