[00:22.03]You would not believe your eyes
[00:24.41]If ten million fireflies
[00:27.02]Lit up the world as I fell asleep
[00:32.32]'Cause they'd fill the open air
[00:34.87]And leave tear drops everywhere
[00:37.05]You'd think me rude
[00:38.10]But I would just stand and stare
[00:41.57]
[00:42.98]I'd like to make myself believe
[00:46.90]That planet Earth turns slowly
[00:52.79]It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
[00:58.11]'Cause everything is never as it seems
[01:03.24]
[01:03.84]'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
[01:06.56]From ten thousand lightning bugs
[01:09.16]As they tried to teach me how to dance
[01:14.50]A foxtrot above my head
[01:16.99]A sock hop beneath my bed
[01:19.32]The disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[01:23.71]
[01:25.08]I'd like to make myself believe
[01:29.19]That planet Earth turns slowly
[01:35.16]It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
[01:40.41]'Cause everything is never as it seems
[01:45.15](When I fall asleep)
[01:47.53]
[01:48.92]Leave my door open just a crack
[01:51.97](Please take me away from here)
[01:54.21]'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
[01:57.38](Please take me away from here)
[01:59.29]Why do I tire of counting sheep?
[02:02.39](Please take me away from here)
[02:04.56]When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
[02:09.79]
[02:10.00]To ten million fireflies
[02:12.72]I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
[02:14.56]I got misty eyes as they said farewell
[02:20.06]But I'll know where several are
[02:22.81]If my dreams get real bizarre
[02:25.21]'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
[02:29.10]
[02:31.01]I'd like to make myself believe
[02:34.96]That planet Earth turns slowly
[02:41.18]It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
[02:46.22]'Cause everything is never as it seems
[02:50.85](When I fall asleep)
[02:52.32]
[02:52.37]I'd like to make myself believe
[02:56.09]That planet Earth turns slowly
[03:02.03]It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
[03:07.28]'Cause everything is never as it seems
[03:11.71](When I fall asleep)
[03:13.30]
[03:13.32]I'd like to make myself believe
[03:16.99]That planet Earth turns slowly
[03:23.00]It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
[03:28.28]Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
[03:33.72]
