[Pre-Chorus]

You're the night, Lilah

A little girl lost in the woods

You're a folktale, the unexplainable

[Chorus]

You're a bedtime story

The one that keeps the curtains closed

And I hope you're waitin' for me

'Cause I can't make it on my own

I can't make it on my own

[Verse]

It's too dark to see the landmarks

And I don't want your good luck charms

I hope you're waiting for me across your carpet of stars

[Pre-Chorus]

You're the night, Lilah

You're everything that we can't see

Lilah, you're the possibility

[Chorus]

You're the bedtime story

The one that keeps the curtains closed

And I hope you're waitin' for me

'Cause I can't make it on my own

I can't make it on my own

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Unknown the unlit world of old

You're the sounds I've never heard before

Off the map where the wild things grow

Another world outside my door

Here I stand, I'm all alone

Drive me down the pitch-black road

Lilah, you're my only home

And I can't make it on my own

[Chorus]

You're a bedtime story

The one that keeps the curtains closed

I hope you're waiting for me

'Cause I can't make it on my own

I can't make it on my own

[Outro]

You're the paint can fallin' off the wall with the door that slams

At the end of the hall where the kid rings, sounds of basketball

The battle of the earth and the angels

The shifting snow drifts so realistic, so realistic

Call you carpet of stars

See, there is something in the yard

It's awful dark

With the painted strings, the cross, the good luck charm

The prayer, the extra layer, the group
