 You're the night,  Lilah.  A little girl  lost in the woods.
 You're a folk tale,  the  unexplainable
 1):
 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.  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  impossibility.
 1)
 ( / )x2  (faintly 2nd time)
 Unknown the unlit world of old. You're the sounds  I 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.
 2):
 You're a bedtime story.  The one that keeps the curtains closed.
 And I hope you're waiting for  me  cause I can make it on my own.
 I can make it on my own.
You're  the paint can falling off the wall at the door that slams at the end
 of the hall where the kid rings sounds of basketball. The  battle of the
 earth of the angels. The  shifting snow drifts so realistic, so realistic - call you
 of stars. See there is something in the yard. It's awful dark. With the painted strings, the
 the good luck charm, the prayer, the extra layer. The group ???...
