Tiptoe

Don't be afraid
You're safe until the lights go out

Tiptoe in the dark
Who knows what you'll find there
Take a deep breath
Tell yourself it's just a nightmare
Tiptoe in the dark
Heart beating faster
Are you alone?
And then you hear the answer

I close my eyes and count to ten
I'll give you a shot
Hold your breath don't make a sound
Coming ready or not
A cloak with no dagger
But what's underneath?
If you can't bite then
Better not show your teeth

Don't be afraid
You're safe until the lights go out

Tiptoe in the dark
Who knows what you'll find there
Take a deep breath
Tell yourself it's just a nightmare
Tiptoe in the dark
Heart beating faster
Are you alone?
And then you hear the answer

Footsteps, darkness
I'm closing in
Might as well give up honey
You're not gonna win
Breathing down your neck
I whisper in your ear
What scares you more
That I'll find you or leave you here?

Maybe you'll waste all your time in a dream
Maybe it's the last sunset you'll see
Maybe this is the best you'll ever be
Maybe

You're out of time
Your neck is on the line
I'm never far behind
It's time to say goodbye

I know you're scared
You look cute with your teeth bared
You can try it if you dare
But I hope you came prepared

Don't be afraid
You're safe until the lights go out

Tiptoe in the dark
Who knows what you'll find there
Take a deep breath
Tell yourself it's just a nightmare
Tiptoe in the dark
Heart beating faster
Are you alone?
And then you hear the answer

Just when all the lights
Go out
