You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep Cause they filled the open air And leave teardrops everywhere You 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 fox trot above my head A sock caught 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 Leave my door open just to cry Please take me away from here Cause I feel like such an insomnia 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 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 It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Cause everything is never as it seems
