Fire Flies Lyrics - Glassheart Deluxe Edition - Leona Lewis

You would not believe your eyes 

If ten million fireflies 

Lit up the world as I fell asleep 

'Cause they'd fill the open air 

And leave tear drops everywhere 

You'd think me rude 

But I would just stand and stare 

I'd like to make myself believe 

That planet Earth turns slowly 

It'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 bugs 

As they tried to teach me how to dance 

A foxtrot above my head 

A sock hop beneath my bed 

The disco ball is just hanging by a thread 

(Thread, thread...) 

I'd like to make myself believe 

That planet Earth turns slowly 

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 

'Cause everything is never as it seems 

(When I fall asleep) 

Leave 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 asleep 

(Ha-ha) 

To ten million fireflies 

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes 

I got misty eyes as they said farewell 

(Said farewell) 

But I'll know where several are 

If my dreams get real bizarre 

'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar 

(Jar, jar, jar...) 

I'd like to make myself believe 

That planet Earth turns slowly 

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 

'Cause everything is never as it seems 

(When I fall asleep) 

I'd like to make myself believe 

That planet Earth turns slowly 

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
