(+) As the Jurassic World Turns
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause theyd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
Youd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
Id like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that Id rather stay
Awake when Im asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
Cause Id 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
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
Id like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that Id rather stay
Awake when Im 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 Im far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
Im weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But Ill know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
Id like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that Id rather stay
Awake when Im asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
Id like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that Id rather stay
Awake when Im asleep
Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
Id like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
Its hard to say that Id rather stay
Awake when Im asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
