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 and leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
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 and leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
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)
[Bridge]
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?
[Verse 3]
To ten million fireflies, I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
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)
[Chorus]
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)
[Chorus]
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)
[Outro]
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...
Ubungeke ukholelwe amehlo akho uma izicishamlilo eziyizigidi eziyishumi
Wakhanyisa umhlaba njengoba ngalala
Imbangela abagcwalise umoya ovulekile futhi bashiye izinyembezi yonke indawo
Ungangicabanga nginenkani kodwa bengivele ngime ngibuke
[Chorus]
Ngingathanda ukwenza ngikholwe
Ukuthi umhlaba weplanethi uphenduka kancane
Kunzima ukusho ukuthi kungcono ngihlale ngiphapheme lapho ngilala
Yenza konke akukaze kube njalo
[Ivesi 2]
Imbangela bengizothola ama-hugs ayinkulungwane kusuka kuma-bugs ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi
Njengoba bezama ukungifundisa ukudansa kanjani
I-foxtrot engenhla kwekhanda lami, i-sock hop ngaphansi kombhede wami
Ibhola le-disco livele lilenga ngentambo
[Chorus]
Ngingathanda ukwenza ngikholwe
Ukuthi umhlaba weplanethi uphenduka kancane
Kunzima ukusho ukuthi kungcono ngihlale ngiphapheme lapho ngilala
Yenza konke akukaze kube njengoba kubonakala sengathi (lapho ngilala)
[Bridge]
Shiya umnyango wami uvule nje ukuqhekeka nje
(Ngicela ungisuse lapha)
Imbangela ngizizwa nginjengomqondo onjalo
(Ngicela ungisuse lapha)
Kungani ngikhathalela ukubala izimvu
(Ngicela ungisuse lapha)
Lapho ngikhathele kakhulu ukulala?
[Ivesi 3]
Izicishamlilo eziyizigidi eziyishumi, ngiyinto eyinqaba ngoba ngiyazonda ama-goodbyes
Ngithole amehlo angenaphutha njengoba besho ukuvalewowa (bathi ukuvalelisa)
Kepha ngizokwazi ukuthi ziningana lapho amaphupho ami athola inkinga yangempela
Imbangela Ngisindise Abambalwa futhi Ngibagcina Embizeni (Jar, Jar, Jar)
[Chorus]
Ngingathanda ukwenza ngikholwe
Ukuthi umhlaba weplanethi uphenduka kancane
Kunzima ukusho ukuthi kungcono ngihlale ngiphapheme lapho ngilala
Yenza konke akukaze kube njengoba kubonakala sengathi (lapho ngilala)
[Chorus]
Ngingathanda ukwenza ngikholwe
Ukuthi umhlaba weplanethi uphenduka kancane
Kunzima ukusho ukuthi kungcono ngihlale ngiphapheme lapho ngilala
Yenza konke akukaze kube njengoba kubonakala sengathi (lapho ngilala)
[Ofsto]
Ngingathanda ukwenza ngikholwe
Ukuthi umhlaba weplanethi uphenduka kancane
Kunzima ukusho ukuthi kungcono ngihlale ngiphapheme lapho ngilala
Ngoba amaphupho ami aqhuma emthungo ...
