Awake when I'm asleep A disco ball is just hanging by a thread But I would just stand and stare 'Cause everything is never as it seems You'd think me rude (Please take me away from here) That planet Earth turns slowly And leave teardrops everywhere That planet Earth turns slowly To ten million fireflies 'Cause I feel like such an insomniac If my dreams get real bizarre When I fall asleep From ten thousand lightning bugs Publisher: OCEAN CITY PARK I'd like to make myself believe That planet Earth turns slowly Awake when I'm asleep Awake when I'm asleep It's hard to say that I'd rather stay That planet earth turns slowly As they tried to teach me how to dance When I fall asleep You would not believe your eyes I'd like to make myself believe Lit up the world as I fell asleep If ten million fireflies 'Cause they'd fill the open air (Please take me away from here) Awake when I'm asleep A sock hop beneath my bed A foxtrot above my head It's hard to say that I'd rather stay I'd like to make myself believe But I'll know where several are That planet Earth turns slowly Songwriter: Adam Young I'd like to make myself believe Why do I tire of counting sheep It's hard to say that I'd rather stay I got misty eyes as they said farewell (Please take me away from here) 'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar Awake when I'm asleep I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes When I fall asleep I'd like to make myself believe Because my dreams are bursting at the seams When I'm far too tired to fall asleep It's hard to say that I'd rather stay 'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs It's hard to say that I'd rather stay 'Cause everything is never as it seems 'Cause everything is never as it seems Leave my door open just a crack 'Cause everything is never as it seems
I love it because it has it's highs and lows and it has it's fast and slows and it doesn't say any bad words.
