Ocean Eyes

You would not believe your eyes 
If ten million fireflies 
Lit up the world as I fell asleep 
Cause they fill the open air 
And leave teardrops everywhere 
You 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 get a thousand hugs 
From ten thousand lightning bugs 
As they try 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


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


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


To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell 
But I 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 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


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


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 seems
