You're the night, Lilah, a little girl lost in the woods
You're a folk tale, the unexplainable
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
It's too dark to see the landmarks, and 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 see
Lilah, you're the possibility
You're the 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
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
You're the bedtime story, the one that keeps the curtain…
