You're the night, Lila
A little girl lost in a storm
You're a folk tale,
The unexplainable

You're a bedtime story
The one who 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 goodluck charms
I hope you're waiting for me
Across your carpet of stars

You're the night Lila
You're everything we can't see
Lila
You're the possibility

You're a bedtime story
The one who 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

Unknown in an unlit world of old
You're the song I never heard before
Off the map where the wild things grow
Another world outside my door

And here I stand all alone
And driving down a pitch black road
I can't make it
On my own

You're a bedtime story
The one who 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
