Song lyrics
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.
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!
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...
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!
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...)
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...)
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...
Fireflies
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.
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 sock hop beneath my bed,
A disco ball is just hanging by a 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...
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!
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...)
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...)
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...
Fireflies
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: x2]
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
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 Chorus: 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
