(Hold me higher. Hold me high)
(Hold me higher. Hold me high)
There are monsters in the dark.
You’ve got to find them on your own, and then
We said, we said, last words over the phone.
We road the interstate, while she would drive I’d narrate
Singin’ our old songs from back home.
Come on, come on, that’s it now, Pick up, we’re gonna hit the town.
Come on, come on. (Whoa!) Come on, come on. (Whoa!)
We’re not gonna stick around, Better put on your dancing gown.
Come on, come on. (Whoa!) Come on, come on. (Whoa!)
There are monsters in the dark! / They’re not gonna keep us apart
(Hold me higher. Hold me high)
I’ll search with all of my heart
(Hold me higher. Hold me high)
There are monsters in the dark!
And a single step is all it takes. Over oceans, all emotions, I feel trapped under the weight.
(Can’t keep my) Head above water, long enough to say, that I love and miss you dearly,
More and more after each day. (What’s in the dark?)
And I start to feel like one of them. I keep waking up beside her every time a different bed,
Woken by strangers, no word from friends. Well there’s some evil ones just haven’t found them yet.
Come on, come on, that’s it now, Pick up, we’re gonna hit the town.
Come on, come on. (Whoa!) Come on, come on. (Whoa!)
We’re not gonna stick around, Better put on your dancing gown.
Come on, come on. (Whoa!) Come on, come on. (Whoa!)
There are monsters in the dark! / They’re not gonna keep us apart
(Hold me higher. Hold me high)
I’ll search with all of my heart
(Hold me higher. Hold me high)
There are monsters in the dark!
