You're just a daydream away,
I wouldn't know what to say if I had you.
And I'll keep you a daydream away,
Just watch from a safe place,
So I never have to lose...

Paper bags and plastic hearts
All our belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right
 
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
'We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
 
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
 
Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
But we'll cry
We won't give up the fight
 
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just 'cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive
 
All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight
 
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
 
Watch it burn
Let it die
'Cause we are finally free tonight

Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you, miss you so bad
I don't forget you, oh it's so sad
I hope you can hear me, I remember it clearly
 
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
 
I've had my wake up, won't you wake up
I keep asking why?
And I can't take it, it wasn't fake it
It happened you passed by
 
Now you're gone, now you're gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
 
Now you're gone, now you're gone
There you go, there you go
Somewhere you're not coming back
 
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same
 
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
 
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
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 when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
 
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
 
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
 
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
 
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
 
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

He's got his mother's eyes, his father's ambition
I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him
I hang on every word you say
 
You'll smile and say "How are you?"
And I'll say, "Just fine"
I always forget to tell you I love you
I'll love you forever
 
I watched Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world
I'll be around
 
I watched Superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down
 
Tall, dark and beautiful
He's complicated, he's irrational
But I hope someday he'll take me away
And save the day, yeah
 
And you'll leave, got places to be
And I'll be okay
I always forget to tell you I love you
I loved you from the very first day
 
And I watch you fly around the world
And I hope you don't chase another girl
Don't forget, don't forget about me
 
I'm far away, but I'll never let you go
I'm lovestruck and looking out the window
Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be
 
Right here wishing the flowers were from you
Wishing the card was from you
Wishing the call was from you
'Cause I've loved you from the very first day
 
I watched Superman fly away
I swear, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down
 
Come back down

I am confident, but
I still have my moments.
Baby, that's just me.
 
I'm not a supermodel,
I still eat McDonald's.
Baby, that's just me.
 
Well, some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything.
Because of where I
Had my start and where I made my name
Well everything's the same
In the la-la land machine
 
Who said I can't wear my converse with my dress?
Well, baby, that's just me!
 
And who said I can't be single
And have to go out and mingle
Baby, that's not me, no, no.
 
Tell me do you feel the way I feel
'cause nothing else is real
In the la-la land appeal
 
Some may say I need to be afraid
Of losing everything.
Because of where I
Had my start and where I made my name
Well, everything's the same
In the la-la land machine
Well, I'm not gonna change
In the la-la land machine
I will stay the same
In the la-la land...
 
I won't change anything in my life
I'm staying myself tonight
