Sleeping With the Lights On

My ghosts and monsters, they wake me every night

Sharp teeth and bad breath, whispering your name

I'm not quite lonely, feels more like scared to death

Your memory haunts me when I put myself to bed

I've been sleeping with the lights on

Talking in my sleep and waking to an empty home

I've been sleeping with the lights on since you've been gone

Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff too

Makes such strange bed follows

Baby, how did they know you? Yeah

They'll stay for hours, they'll haunt me all night long

Talk about your new loves till the crack of dawn, yeah, yeah

I've been sleeping with the lights on

Talking in my sleep and waking to an empty home

I've been sleeping with the lights on since you've been gone

I know you're not to blame for the shape I'm in

(It's the nature of the beast)

But how do I explain when it's time to love again?

Monsters are real, oh, believe me

I've been sleeping with the lights on

Talking in my sleep and waking to an empty home

I've been sleeping with the lights on

Talking in my sleep and waking to an empty home

Sleeping with the lights on

Oh, baby

Sleeping with the lights on, talkin' in my sleep

Wakin' to an empty home since you been gone, yeah

Wakin' to an empty home since you been gone...
