SLEEPING OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR

Sleeping outside your door
Six years old didn’t mind the floor
Just wanted to get closer to you
Nightmares running through my head
Should have been dreams instead
Afraid of the monster’s in my room

It would help to keep the light on
Crack the door an inch or two

I just needed reassuring
‘Cause I couldn’t keep enduring
While the demons took their time to play

I always find a guy
Hardly have to try
Though my heart’s hidden on my sleeve
Staring into space
It’s such a lonely place
Feel so abandoned when they leave

It would help to keep the light on
Crack the door an inch or two

My heart is racing
My head is spinning round and round and round
Can I wait till the morning light
Just let me make it through the night

I just needed reassuring
‘Cause I couldn’t keep enduring
While the demons took their time to play
