So why do you tell yourself that you were happy when you're not So why don't you lie to us both if it makes you feel better off
Honestly oh honestly this will never be Don't blame yourself Oh honestly
(Chorus) So why don't we runaway We can leave our problems at the door So why can't we runaway We'll turn our back and we'll say goodnight As those dotted lines move faster we'll watch the night turn into day So why don't we runaway
So open your eyes And shut those ears it's a give and take cause you can't please everyone When it feels like the world has turned their back and locked their doors this is feeling impossible
Honestly oh honestly this will never be Don't blame yourself Oh honestly
(Chorus) So why don't we runaway We can leave our problems at the door So why can't we runaway We'll turn our back and we'll say goodnight As those dotted lines move faster we'll watch the night turn into day So why don't we runaway
We've come to grips with all this shit So what's the point in trying to fix it We'll tell em this is how it is Cause it was never their life to live to live
Honestly oh honestly this will never be Don't blame yourself Oh honestly
(Chorus) So why don't we runaway We can leave our problems at the door So why can't we runaway We'll turn our back and we'll say goodnight As those dotted lines move faster we'll watch the night turn into day So why don't we runaway
You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world As I fell asleep
'Cause they fill the open air And leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude But I would just stand and stare
[Chorus] I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems (When I fall asleep)
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs From ten thousand lightning bugs As they try to teach me how to dance
A fox-trot above my head A sock-hop beneath my bed A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
[Chorus]
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
To ten million fireflies I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes I got misty eyes As they said farewell (They said Farewell) But I'll know where several are If my dreams get real bizarre 'Cause I'd save a few And I'd keep them in a jar (A jar)
[Chorus x2]
I'd like to make myself believe That planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep Because my dreams are bursting at the seams
There once was a girl from north west All the while she hoped to be dead So she get herself ill And tried to get killed That stupid girl from north west
Just tell me you're doing okay I can't help but think of you everyday And I know that it's hard when I'm miles away But I know we'll be together some day
Fall is gone Winter is here I spent all December just wanting you near So I'm singing these words in the hope that you'll hear You're the best thing that happened this year
I've fallen in love honestly So I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve In the hope that these notes and the words that I sing make you see You mean more than the world does to me
Let me be honest with you When I said I loved you it was more than the truth You see, with each lonely night and day that I must go through Well they just bring me closer to you
I've fallen in love honestly So I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve In the hope that these notes and the words that I sing make you see You mean more than the world does to me
I've fallen in love honestly So I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve In the hope that these notes and the words that I sing make you see You mean more than the world does to me
You can rest easy tonight Everything is gonna be alright, I promise. Go to sleep and dream of me tonight; Everything may not be perfect, But at least we tried.
So tonight, Sweet dreams and sleep tight. I've been trying so hard, Can't get you out of my mind. And if this is how it has to be, Just promise you won't forget me, And I'll leave you with this lullaby Tonight.
I know that this hurts you, It hurts me, too. I wish there was something I could do To make it easier for you. Sometimes it's tough, Too soon to call it love, But I wanted to, yeah, I wanted to. But it's too late now to say All the wonderful things that I thought of you.
So tonight, Sweet dreams and sleep tight. I've been trying so hard, Can't get you out of my mind. And if this is how it has to be, Just promise you won't forget me, And I'll leave you with this lullaby Tonight.
