You're the night, Lilah

A little girl lost in the woods

You're a folktale

The unexplainable

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



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

You're the night, Lilah

You're everything that we can't see

Lilah

You're the possibility



You're the bedtime story

The one that keeps the curtains closed

And I hope you're waiting for me

'Cause I can't make it on my own

I can't make it on my own



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

Driving down the pitch black road

Lilah you're my only home

And I can't make it on my own



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
