Lee Dewyze - Fireflies lyrics

rate me

You would not believe your eyes<br />

If ten million fireflies<br />

Lit up the world as I fell asleep<br />

'Cause they'd fill the open air<br />

And leave teardrops everywhere<br />

You'd think me rude<br />

But I would just stand and stare<br />

I'd like to make myself believe<br />

That planet Earth turns slowly<br />

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay<br />

Awake when I'm asleep<br />

'Cause everything is never as it<br />

Seems<br />

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs<br />

From ten thousand lightning bugs<br />

As they tried to teach me how to<br />

Dance<br />

A fox trot above my head<br />

A sock hop beneath my bed<br />

A disco ball that's just hanging by a<br />

Thread<br />

I'd like to make myself believe<br />

That planet Earth turns slowly<br />

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay<br />

Awake when I'm asleep<br />

'Cause everything is never as it<br />

Seems<br />

When I fall asleep<br />

Leave my door open just a crack<br />

(Please take me away from here)<br />

'Cause I feel like such an insomniac<br />

(Please take me away from here)<br />

Why do I tire of counting sheep<br />

(Please take me away from here)<br />

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep<br />

To ten million fireflies<br />

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes<br />

I got misty eyes as they said farewell<br />

But I'll know where several are<br />

If my dreams get real bizarre<br />

'Cause I saved a few and I keep<br />

Them in a jar<br />

I'd like to make myself believe<br />

That planet Earth turns slowly<br />

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay<br />

Awake when I'm asleep<br />

'Cause everything is never as it<br />

Seems<br />

When I fall asleep<br />

I'd like to make myself believe<br />

That planet Earth turns slowly<br />

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay<br />

Awake when I'm asleep<br />

'Cause everything is never as it<br />

Seems<br />

When I fall asleep<br />

I'd like to make myself believe<br />

That planet Earth turns slowly<br />

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay<br />

Awake when I'm asleep
