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...
Awungekhe ukholelwe amehlo akho ukuba izigidi ezilishumi zokucima umlilo
Yakha ihlabathi njengoko ndalala
Kubangela ukuba bagcwalise umoya ovulekileyo kwaye bashiye i-teardrops kuyo yonke indawo
Ungandicinga ukuba ndikrwada kodwa bendiya kuma ndijonga
[Chorus]
Ndingathanda ukundenza ndikholelwe
Iplanethi yomhlaba ijika kancinci
Kunzima ukuthi ndingcono ndihlale ndiphaphile xa ndilele
Yenza yonke into ayisoloko ibonakala
[Indinyana 2]
Isizathu sokuba ndifumane iwaka hugs ukusuka kwishumi lamawaka
Njengoko bezama ukundifundisa indlela yokudanisa
I-foxtrat engaphezulu kwentloko yam, i-sock hop phantsi kwebhedi yam
Ibhola ye-disco ixhonywe yintambo
[Chorus]
Ndingathanda ukundenza ndikholelwe
Iplanethi yomhlaba ijika kancinci
Kunzima ukuthi ndingcono ndihlale ndiphaphile xa ndilele
Yenza yonke into ayisoloko ibonakala (xa ndilala)
[Ibhulorho]
Shiya umnyango wam vula i-rack
(Ndicela undisuse apha)
Kuba ndiziva ngathi ndingoyiki
(Ndicela undisuse apha)
Kutheni ndidiniwe ukubala iigusha
(Ndicela undisuse apha)
Xa ndikudiniwe kakhulu ukuba ndingalalanga?
[Indinyana 3]
Ukuya kwishumi lezigidi zeentsika, ndingorhatyazo 'kuba ndizithiyile amahle
Ndifumene amehlo aphantsi njengoko babethetha ukuba baphinde bathanda
Kodwa ndiza kuyazi ukuba iphi amaphupha am ukuba amaphupha am afumana i-bizarre yokwenyani
Kuba ndisindise ezimbalwa kwaye ndizigcina kwi-jar (jar, jar, jar)
[Chorus]
Ndingathanda ukundenza ndikholelwe
Iplanethi yomhlaba ijika kancinci
Kunzima ukuthi ndingcono ndihlale ndiphaphile xa ndilele
Yenza yonke into ayisoloko ibonakala (xa ndilala)
[Chorus]
Ndingathanda ukundenza ndikholelwe
Iplanethi yomhlaba ijika kancinci
Kunzima ukuthi ndingcono ndihlale ndiphaphile xa ndilele
Yenza yonke into ayisoloko ibonakala (xa ndilala)
[Ngaphandle]
Ndingathanda ukundenza ndikholelwe
Iplanethi yomhlaba ijika kancinci
Kunzima ukuthi ndingcono ndihlale ndiphaphile xa ndilele
Kuba amaphupha am avuthelwa kwi-seams ...
