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

A foxtrot above my head
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 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

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
‘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

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you’ve already figured out

I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
With a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on
I’m barely holdin’ on to you

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I’m an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they’re still looking for life

I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
with a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on
I’m barely holdin’ on to you

I’m hangin’ on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I’m hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be ok

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven’t forgotten my way home.

I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
with a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning

Hillsong United in Singapore.

Going to see them at the Indoor Stadium later tonight.

Photos soon?

I seem to have less control of my tear-ducts recently.

Three days in a row my tears spilled out of my eyes.
One time on the bus some more.

WHY:
Day 1: The Weepies - The World Spins Madly On/Across the Universe/other sad youTube videos.
Day 2: The Rescue - Nicholas Sparks. The middle to the end was damn sad
Day 3: The Time Traveler’s Wife

Damn it.

Need to stay away from tear-jerking and heart-tugging stuff.

What happened
After last summer
When we broke up
In September

I haven’t seen you
Feels like a long time
Sometimes it still hurts
But I always get by

I still got a piece of you under my skin
It’s always there no matter where I’ve been

So if I ever see you on the street
I’ll pretend that I didn’t see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Because if I look into your eyes
Then I’ll have to say goodbye
And thatll break my heart
So I wont even start
I wont even start

I wish you luck
And I wish it true
That’s the best
I can do for you

Cuz you’ll probably find love
In someone new
I have to let go
Yeah it’s hard to do

So if I run into you with your arm by his side
Just know it’ll cut me like a knife

So if I ever see you on the street
I’ll pretend that I didn’t see
And turn my face
No use in small talk anyways

Because if I look into your eyes
Then I’ll have to say goodbye
And thatll break my heart
So I wont even start
I wont even start

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag,
I’m not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand -
If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?

Some try to hand me money, they don’t understand -
I’m not… broke, I’m just a broken-hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on, when I’m still in love with you

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be,
Thinking maybe you’d come back here to the place that we’d meet,
And you’d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I’m not moving,
I’m not moving.

Policeman says, “son you can’t stay here,”
I said, there’s someone I’m waiting for if it’s a day, a month, a year?
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind - this is the first place she will go.

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be,
Thinking maybe you’d come back here to the place that we’d meet,
And you’d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I’m not moving,
I’m not moving.

I’m not moving
I’m not moving.

People talk about the guy
Who’s waiting on a girl
There are no hole in his shoes,
But a big hole in his world.

Maybe I’ll get famous as the man who can’t be moved,
And maybe you won’t mean to, but you’ll see me on the news,
And you’ll come running to the corner,
Cos you’ll know it’s just for you.

I’m the man who can’t be moved,
I’m the man who can’t be moved.

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be,
Thinking maybe you’d come back here to the place that we’d meet,
And you’d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I’m not moving,
I’m not moving.

I’m not moving,
I’m not moving.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I’m not gonna move.
