You woke up the monsters I had hidden 'neath my bed
And dreams like these aren't lullabied to sleep
It's the hardest thing to not let hope grow wild inside my head
And balance is an awful thing to keep

I have to say it's all your fault I'm crazy in a daze
I'm climbing from the bottom, I am swallowing the waves
You shouldn't be so wonderful
You shouldn't wait so long
I'm hanging on this chance I can't go backwards, can't go anywhere

You woke up the monsters I had hidden 'neath my bed
And dreams like these aren't lullabied to sleep
It's the hardest thing to not let hope grow wild inside my head
And balance is an awful thing to keep

You've been dropping seeds and now my backyard looks like spring
Lucky you, the world's in bloom and you haven't done a thing
How dare you be so perfect in that sweet imperfect way
Been waiting now for weeks to tell you all about my day

You woke up the monsters I had hidden 'neath my bed
And dreams like these aren't lullabied to sleep
It's the hardest thing to not let hope grow wild inside my head
And balance is an awful thing to keep
