0:00–0:15Adam YoungYou would not believe your eyes if ten million firefliesLit up the world as I fell asleep‘Cause they’d fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhereYou’d think me rude, but I would just stand and stare
0:16–0:32I’d like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns slowlyIt’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep‘Cause everything is never as it seems
0:33–0:49‘Cause I’d get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugsAs they tried to teach me how to danceA foxtrot above my head, a sock hop beneath my bedA disco ball is just hanging by a thread
0:49–1:07I’d like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns slowlyIt’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep‘Cause everything is never as it seemsWhen I fall asleep
1:08–1:23Leave my door open just a crackMatt ThiessenPlease take me away from hereAdam Young‘Cause I feel like such an insomniacMatt ThiessenPlease take me away from hereAdam YoungWhy do I tire of counting sheepMatt ThiessenPlease take me away from hereAdam YoungWhen I’m far too tired to fall asleep?
1:25–1:41To ten million fireflies, I’m weird ‘cause I hate goodbyesI got misty eyes as they said farewellBut I’ll know where several are if my dreams get real bizarre‘Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
1:41–2:14I’d like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns slowlyIt’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep‘Cause everything is never as it seemsWhen I fall asleepI’d like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns slowlyIt’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep‘Cause everything is never as it seemsWhen I fall asleep
2:14–2:30I’d like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns slowlyIt’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleepBecause my dreams are bursting at the seams
