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'd just stand and stare
[Chorus х2:] 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 A foxtrot above my head A sockhop beneath my bed A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
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
