you would not believe your eyes
if ten-million fireflies
lit up the world as i fell asleep
cause they fill the open air
and leave teardrops everywhere
you’d think me rude but i would just stand and starecause i’d get a thousand hugs
from ten-thousand lightning bugs
as they try to teach me how to dance
a fox trot above my head
a sock hop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a threadleave 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 asleepto ten-million fireflies, i’m weird cause i hate goodbyes
i got misty eyes as they said farewell
but i’ll know where several are
if my dreams get real bizarre
cause i’d save a few and i’d keep them in a jarit’s hard to say that i’d rather stay awake when i’m asleep
because my dreams are bursting at the seams
