[00:22.400]You would not believe your eyes
[00:24.720]If ten million fireflies
[00:27.160]Lit up the world as I fell asleep
[00:31.660]
[00:32.689]Cause they fill the open air
[00:35.100]And leave teardrops everywhere
[00:37.290]You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
[00:42.800]
[00:43.590]I'd like to make myself believe
[00:47.300]That planet earth turns slowly
[00:53.610]It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
[00:56.400]Awake when I'm asleep
[00:58.900]Cause everything is never as it seems
[01:03.630]
[01:04.370]Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
[01:07.180]From ten thousand lightning bugs
[01:09.760]As they tried to teach me how to dance
[01:13.800]
[01:15.410]A foxtrot above my head
[01:17.800]A sock hop beneath my bed
[01:20.310]A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[01:23.830]
[01:25.740]I'd like to make myself believe
[01:29.990]That planet earth turns slowly
[01:36.210]It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
[01:39.360]Awake when I'm asleep
[01:41.580]Cause everything is never as it seems
[01:46.600]When I fall asleep
[01:48.330]
[01:49.770]Leave my door open just a crack
[01:53.900](Please take me away from here)
[01:55.370]Cause I feel like such an insomniac
[01:58.259](Please take me away from here)
[02:00.790]Why do I tire of counting sheep
[02:03.880](Please take me away from here)
[02:06.000]When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
[02:09.350]
[02:12.110]To ten million fireflies
[02:14.520]I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
[02:17.760]I got misty eyes as they said farewell
[02:23.130]But I'll know where several are
[02:25.700]If my dreams get real bizarre
[02:28.029]Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
[02:31.779]
[02:33.700]I'd like To make myself believe
[02:37.830]That Planet earth turns slowly
[02:44.090]It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
[02:46.500]Awake when I'm asleep
[02:49.460]Cause everything is never as it seems
[02:54.020]When I fall asleep
[02:55.360]I'd like to make myself believe
[02:59.100]That planet earth turns slowly
[03:05.440]It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
[03:08.200]Awake when I'm asleep
[03:10.770]Cause everything is never as it seems
[03:15.110]When I fall asleep
[03:17.620]I'd like to make myself believe
[03:21.370]That planet earth turns slowly
[03:27.620]It's hard to say I'd rather stay
[03:30.260]Awake when I'm asleep
[03:32.970]Because my dreams are bursting at the sea
[03:38.510]
