You would not believe your eyes, If ten million fireflies. Lit up the world as I fell asleep. 'Cause they fill the open air, And leave teardrops everywhere. You think me rude, But I would just stand and stare.
'Cause I get a thousand hugs, From ten thousand lightning bugs. As they try to teach me how to dance, A foxtrot above my head, A sockhop beneath my bed. The disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread).
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.
