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 get a thousand hugs 
From ten thousand lightning bugs 
As they try 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)

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 good-byes 
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 (jar, jar, 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 
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
