[Intro]
   
   


[Verse ]
             
You would not 


believe your e

yes

If ten million

 fireflies
           
Lit up the wor

              
ld as I fell a


sleep
             
'Cause they'd 

     
fill the open 

air

Leave teardrop

s everywhere
      
You'd think me

 rude
            
But I would've

              
 just stand an

  
d stare


[Chorus]
            
I'd like to ma

            
ke myself beli

eve
           
That planet Ea

            
rth turns slow


ly
             
It's hard to s

            
ay that I'd ra

ther
             
Stay awake whe

      
n I'm asleep
             
'Cause everyth

             
ing is never a

     
s it seems


[Verse]
             
'Cause I'd get

  
 a thousand hu

gs

From ten thous

and lightning 

bugs
             
As they tried 

            
to teach me ho

     
w to dance
(Teach me how to dance)
          
A foxtrot abov

e my head

A sockhop bene

ath my bed
             
A disco ball i

            
s just hanging

      
 by a thread


[Chorus]
            
I'd like to ma

            
ke myself beli

[Verse]
             
Leave my door 

          
open just a cr

ack
(please take me away from here)
             
'Cause I feel 

            
like such an i

(please take me away from here)
           
Why do I tire 

            
of counting sh

eep
(please take me away from here)
             
When I'm far t

            
oo tired to fa

    
ll asleep

             
To ten million

 
 fireflies

I'm weird 'cau

I got misty ey

But I'll know
