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´d think me rude but I would just stand and stare.

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 fox trot above my head, a sock hopped beneath my bed
A 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
(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
(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
(in a jar)

I´d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It´s hard to stay that I´d rather stay awake when I´m asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)
(repeat)

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
because my dreams are bursting at the seams
