Monsters in the Dark

Hold me higher
Hold me high
Hold me higher
Hold me high

There are monsters in the dark
And I'd like to find them on my own, and then
We said, we said, last words over the phone
We rode 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
Maybe 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)

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
