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...
Du ville ikke tro på dine øjne, hvis ti millioner ildfluer
Tændte verden, da jeg faldt i søvn
Fordi de ville fylde den frie luft og forlade teardrops overalt
Du ville tro mig uhøfligt, men jeg ville bare stå og stirre
[Kor]
Jeg vil gerne gøre mig til at tro
At planeten jorden vender langsomt
Det er svært at sige, at jeg hellere vil blive vågen, når jeg sover
Fordi alt er aldrig som det ser ud til
[Vers 2]
Fordi jeg ville få tusind krammer fra ti tusind lynbugs
Som de forsøgte at lære mig at danse
En foxtrot over mit hoved, en sok hop under min seng
En disco bold hænger bare ved en tråd
[Kor]
Jeg vil gerne gøre mig til at tro
At planeten jorden vender langsomt
Det er svært at sige, at jeg hellere vil blive vågen, når jeg sover
Fordi alt er aldrig som det ser ud til (når jeg falder i søvn)
[Bro]
Lad min dør åben bare en revne
(Få mig væk herfra)
Fordi jeg har lyst til sådan en insomniac
(Få mig væk herfra)
Hvorfor dækker jeg at tælle får
(Få mig væk herfra)
Når jeg er alt for træt til at falde i søvn?
[Vers 3]
Til ti millioner ildfluer, jeg er underlig, fordi jeg hader farvel
Jeg har misty øjne, da de sagde farvel (de sagde farvel)
Men jeg ved, hvor flere er, hvis mine drømme bliver ægte bizarre
Fordi jeg reddede et par, og jeg holder dem i en krukke (krukke, krukke, krukke)
[Kor]
Jeg vil gerne gøre mig til at tro
At planeten jorden vender langsomt
Det er svært at sige, at jeg hellere vil blive vågen, når jeg sover
Fordi alt er aldrig som det ser ud til (når jeg falder i søvn)
[Kor]
Jeg vil gerne gøre mig til at tro
At planeten jorden vender langsomt
Det er svært at sige, at jeg hellere vil blive vågen, når jeg sover
Fordi alt er aldrig som det ser ud til (når jeg falder i søvn)
[Outro]
Jeg vil gerne gøre mig til at tro
At planeten jorden vender langsomt
Det er svært at sige, at jeg hellere vil blive vågen, når jeg sover
Fordi mine drømme sprænges på sømmen ...
