[Verse 1: Marius Paxcow]

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 teardrops everywhere

You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare

[Chorus: Marius Paxcow]

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

[Verse 2: Marius Paxcow]

'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

A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

[Chorus: Marius Paxcow]

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

[Bridge: Marius Paxcow, Mike Andersson]

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

[Chorus: Marius Paxcow and Mike Andersson, Mike Andersson, Marius Paxcow]

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 (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

‘Cause everything is never as it seems (when i fall asleep)

[Outro: Marius Paxcow]

I try to make myself believe (When I fall asleep)

I try to make myself believe (When I fall asleep)

I try to make myself believe (When I fall asleep)

I try to make myself believe
