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
