Authors Note: Sometimes when you turn on the radio, you start to sing, because you know all the words. Well, many people really don't think about what the somg means or maybe what it means to thenselfs. Well,this piece explains what I think that the song means.
You would not believe your eyes ~ your eyes wouldn’t believe what’s in front of them
If ten million fireflies ~ lighting up the whole world
Lit up the world as I fell asleep ~ As if I were to go to bed and the world lit up like NY at night
'Cause they'd fill the open air ~ the whole sky would be lit up
And leave teardrops everywhere ~ a trail of water would be left around the world
You'd think me rude ~ You think that I am rude
But I would just stand and stare ~ I would just stand there, and daydream
I'd like to make myself believe ~ I wish it was true
That planet Earth turns slowly ~ that the earth turns super slow
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay ~ I’d rather do something I know I shouldn’t do.
Awake when I'm asleep ~ being awake when you should be sleeping
'Cause everything is never as it seems ~ nothing is every normal
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs ~ receiving a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs ~ getting hugs from bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance ~ Getting taught how to dance by fireflies
A foxtrot above my head ~ a dance revolving around your head
A sock hop beneath my bed ~ his heart pumping beneath my chest.
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread ~ something that is weighing me down is about to break.
I'd like to make myself believe ~ I wish it was true
That planet Earth turns slowly ~ that the earth turns super slow
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay ~ I’d rather do something I know I shouldn’t do.
Awake when I'm asleep ~ being awake when you should be sleeping
Cause everything is never as it seems ~ nothing is every normal
When I fall asleep ~ Falling asleep
Leave my door open just a crack (Please take me away from here) ~ leaving a stream of light in the room
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac (Please take me away from here) ~ not being able to sleep very well
Why do I tire of counting sheep (Please take me away from here)~ Counting sheep is getting old
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep ~ Counting sheep makes you tired.
To ten million fireflies ~ Ten million fireflies brighten my mood.
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes ~ I hate saying goodbyes, so I consider myself weird.
I got misty eyes as they said farewell ~ I start crying as the fireflies leave
But I'll know where several are ~ Even when the fireflies leave I still know where to find some of them
If my dreams get real bizarre' ~ Just in case my dreams get bizarre…..
Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar ~ It is because I kept some In a jar
I'd like to make myself believe ~ I wish it was true
That planet Earth turns slowly ~ that the earth turns super slow
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay ~ I’d rather do something I know I shouldn’t do.
Awake when I'm asleep ~ being awake when you should be sleeping
'Cause everything is never as it seems ~ Nothing is not very normal.
When I fall asleep ~falling asleep
I'd like to make myself believe~ I wish it was true
I'd like to make myself believe~ I wish it was true
That planet Earth turns slowly ~ that the earth turns super slow
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay ~ I’d rather do something I know I shouldn’t do.
Awake when I'm asleep ~ being awake when you should be sleeping
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep ~ falling asleep
I'd like to make myself believe ~ I wish it was true
That planet Earth turns slowly ~ that the earth turns super slow
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay ~ I’d rather do something I know I shouldn’t do.
Awake when I'm asleep ~ being awake when you should be sleeping
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams ~ Dreams can get so big, and that is a good thing

Okay. I really like most of the explanations. My favorite one, that you did, is "a disco ball is just hanging by a thread". Although, some of them were a little obvious.... I think you have the ability to dig deeper into the lyrics. But otherwise, this was a really creative idea, for a writing piece!
