Under My Bed

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
