lyrics

I was born with honest eyes
I couldn’t tell the whitest lies
And I’d blow our cover all the time

And you were old and you were wise
You’d seen nineteen eighty five
And if you were home, things were fine

With the straightest face
I’d believe everything you’d say
You’re royal family would return for you someday

And the monsters neath my bed said not to worry
Hurry up and sleep before you see real scary things

And in my favorite game
We’d make like we were runaways
Strong willed orphans in a strange place

The brown carpet was our stage
Where we’d laugh with careless rage
Waging war to act our age

And the monsters neath my bed said not to worry
Hurry up and sleep I will protect you while you dream

Parents raised us right
Broken doors and screaming fights
Just say I love you, cut the lights

And you were my only friend
Though you terrorized me
And when things got really dark
Yours was the hand to guide me

And the monsters neath my bed said not to worry
Hurry up and sleep, I’ll try not to wake you when you leave
Hurry up and sleep, cause only time can set you free
Hurry up and sleep, while you still believe in me
