You would not believe your eyes
   'Cause they'd fill the open air
   And leave teardrops everywhere
I would just stand and st
But I would just stand and stare
   I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slow--ly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
'Cause everything is never 
   'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
   From ten thousand lightning bugs
   As they tried to teach me 
A disco ball is just hanging 
   I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slow--ly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
'Cause everything is never 
   Leave my door open just a 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)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
   I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
   But I'll know where several are
   If my dreams get real bizarre
   I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slow--ly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
'Cause everything is never 
   I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slow--ly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
'Cause everything is never 
   I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slow--ly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Because my dreams are bursting
