Come to my window, my house is asleep
I'll leave a light on for you
The chain-linked fence slaps against the wind's cheek
Breaking the silent curfew

Through cupped hands, we make plans
So they won't take you away
Though harm sleeps
Our instincts are fighting to keep us awake
Come and live under my bed

My closet is where all the wild things hide
When I'm alone, they take charge
The flashlight's a gun, yellow bullets of light
Battles my fear of the dark

Through cupped hands, we make plans
So they won't take you away
Though harm sleeps
Our instincts are fighting to keep us awake

Come and live under my bed
It's what I've always wanted

Wake ups are hiccups I have in my dreams
I hold my breath 'til I'm blue
Though pins and needles may put me to sleep
I'll never lose feeling for you

Through cupped hands, we make plans
So they won't take you away
Though harm sleeps
Our instincts are fighting to keep us awake

Come and live under my bed
It's what I've always wanted

Don't tell anybody, especially grown-ups
'Cause grown-ups would not understand
Oh, so come and live under my bed
Oh, come and live under my bed
