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 Leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude But I'd stand and stare I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say 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 hanging by a thread I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly It's hard to say I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep Everything is never as it seems When I fall asleep
