歌词
You would not believe your eyes 或许你无法相信自己的眼睛
If ten million fireflies 如果那千万只萤火虫
Lit up the world as I fell asleep 在我熟睡时照亮了我的整个梦境
'Cause they fill the open air 因为她们在空中飞舞
And leave teardrops everywhere 同时四处洒落着眼泪
You'd think me rude But I would just stand and stare 你觉得我无礼，但我只是站在原地凝视
I'd like to make myself believe 我想我深信不疑
That planet Earth turns slowly 地球正微妙地改变着
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 我难以表达，但当我在梦中却又感到如此的简单
'Cause everything is never as it seems 因为一切似乎都已改变
Cause I'd get a thousand hugs 而且我得到了一千个拥抱
From ten thousand lightning bugs 就来自那一万只飞萤的温暖
As they tried to teach me how to dance 她们试着教我如何跳舞
A foxtrot above my head 我的头上 ，她们跳起了狐步舞
A sock hop beneath my bed 我的床下，她们踢踏着跳步舞
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread 就在那只有线拉着的迪斯科球上
I'd like to make myself believe 我想我深信不疑
That planet Earth turns slowly 地球正微妙的改变着
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 我难以表达，但当我在梦中却又感到如此的简单
'Cause everything is never as it seems 因为一切似乎都已改变
When I fall asleep 当我在梦境时
Leave my door open just a crack 咿呀声中，我的门已被打开
(Please take me away from here) （请带我离开这里）
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac 因为我感觉自己像个失眠的人
(Please take me away from here) （请带我离开这里）
Why do I tire of counting sheep 为什么我已厌倦了数羊游戏
(Please take me away from here) （请带我离开这里）
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep 当我实在是太疲倦而难以入眠时
To ten million fireflies 面对那千万只飞萤
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes 我感觉如此不对劲 因为我不想说再见
I got misty eyes as they said farewell（said farewell） 与她们离别时我泪水盈眶
But I'll know where several are 但我会知道她们在哪
If my dreams get real bizarre 如果我的梦真的很异想天开
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar 那是因为贮存就在我的记忆盒子里
I'd like to make myself believe 我想我深信不疑
That planet Earth turns slowly 地球正微妙地改变着
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 我难以表达，但当我在梦中却又感到如此的简单
'Cause everything is never as it seems 因为一切似乎都已改变
When I fall asleep 当我在梦境时
I'd like to make myself believe 我想我深信不疑
That planet Earth turns slowly 地球正微妙的改变着
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 我难以表达，但当我在梦中却又感到如此的简单
'Cause everything is never as it seems 因为一切似乎都已改变
When I fall asleep 当我在梦境时
I'd like to make myself believe 我会使我深信不疑
That planet Earth turns slowly 地球正微妙地改变着
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay Awake when I'm asleep 我难以表达，但当我在梦中却又感到如此的简单
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams 因为我的梦正被满满地撑起
