Laugh It Up, World

Spongebob can laugh all he wants,
but this is serious business-- i think i lost my voice today,
and i'm trying to find that little girl in the mirror
who thought that everything was gonna be ok.
It still is, here comes the sweet reminder.
He makes me want to be the funniest, the best,
let the smiles echo through the times,
just like tickle giggles
again and again until i fall asleep.
We've been laughing too hard,
but there's no such thing, she says.

Peter Pan knew exactly where he was going.
He knew how to get there too,
and that's what they all forget.
Let's pretend to be poets,
and write words like adults,
and maybe they'll believe us,
but i'll cross my fingers that they won't.
So laugh it up, world,
crazy world that knows too little
about who we should all become.
And i'll be smiling over here in the corner,
painting dreams with Peter Pan.
