[00:00.00]
[00:03.78]
[00:06.91]
[00:11.07] You would not believe your eyes
[00:13.49] If ten million fireflies
[00:16.27] Lit up the world as I fell asleep
[00:20.11]
[00:21.59] 'Cause they'd fill the open air
[00:24.13] And leave teardrops everywhere
[00:26.36] You'd think me rude
[00:27.58] But I would just stand and, stare
[00:31.47]
[00:32.44] 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
[00:34.77] From ten thousand lightning bugs
[00:37.43] As they try to teach me how to dance
[00:40.97]
[00:42.85] A foxtrot above my head
[00:45.37] A sock hop beneath my bed
[00:47.73] A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread)
[00:51.62]
[00:53.61] I'd like to make myself believe
[00:57.63] That planet Earth, turns, slowly
[01:03.78] It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
[01:06.21] Awake when I'm asleep,
[01:08.95] 'Cause everything is never as it seems
[01:13.49] When I fall asleep
[01:15.62]
[01:17.61] Leave my door open just a crack
[01:20.84] (Please take me away from here)
[01:22.67] 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
[01:25.79] (Please take me away from here)
[01:27.63] Why do I tire of counting sheep
[01:31.10] (Please take me away from here)
[01:33.19] When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
[01:37.10]
[01:38.67] To ten million fireflies
[01:41.17] I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
[01:43.72] I got misty eyes as they said farewell
[01:48.29]
[01:49.14] But I'll know where several are
[01:51.84] If my dreams get real bizarre
[01:54.27] 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
[01:59.20]
[02:00.46] I'd like to make myself believe
[02:04.23] That planet Earth, turns, slowly
[02:10.32] It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
[02:13.01] Awake when I'm asleep,
[02:15.72] 'Cause everything is never as it seems
[02:20.74] (When I fall asleep)
[02:21.52]
[02:21.54] I'd like to make myself believe
[02:25.47] That planet Earth, turns, slowly
[02:31.70] It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
[02:34.41] Awake when I'm asleep,
[02:36.95] 'Cause everything is never as it seems
[02:41.65] (When I fall asleep)
[02:43.30]
[02:43.32] I'd like to make myself believe
[02:47.27] That planet Earth, turns, slowly
[02:57.20]
