i feel like this may also have a sadder mood to it. like how he keeps saying "please take me away from here"

and also "Its hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems"

to me he is kinda saying something is going wrong for him, and he cant sleep because he is so tired of it, but he would rather be asleep when he is awake.

i agree! maybe he's saying that all those moments of childhood like all the firefly references.. were his escape, and he wishes he could go back to those days..

I kinda interpreted the "stay awake" part as that he doesn't like to sleep, because when he wakes up he knows that everything good and magical that happened to him while he was asleep was all a dream, and it's hard to take that reality.

I totally agree with your idea
