Adam 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
I’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
‘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
I’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
Leave 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?
To 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
I’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
I’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
