You wouldn't believe your eyes
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
Cause they filled the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
but I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake
Cause everything is never
Cause I get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth does exist only
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake
Cause everything is never as it seems
Leave my door open just to 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
I'm far too tired to fall asleep
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes, as they said,
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns and is falling
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake
Cause everything is never as it seems
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth does feel lonely
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake
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
bursting at the seams you
