Lyrics
Spent a summer at the arcade Pressing buttons till it all fades away That’s all right, didn’t need it anyway Why play at life when you can play games?

Haven’t spoken to you for a while Can’t tell the truth, so I live in a lie Can’t win and I got it all to lose Got four eyes and I can’t see this though

Werewolves chase me, and statues come alive To tell me I’m broken and follow me at night I’ll survive where I need to, someday when I’m grown I’ll go some place better, I’ll never come home

But you are the one dream that’ll never come true Cause the real monster’s me, and all I want is you

I guess you could say that it’s been a rough year Everybody has something they fear I always wish I was anywhere but here That’s just the motto of a small town queer

Can you tell what I think about you? Declarations I wish you knew You can guess, you don’t have to try I’m caught cold with no alibi

Werewolves chase me, and statues come alive To tell me I’m broken and follow me at night

And you are the one dream that’ll never come true Cause the real monster’s me, and all I want is you

Baby, don’t be afraid of the bad dreams Close your eyes and it’s just you and me Baby, don’t be afraid of the bad dreams Close your eyes and it’s just you and me, Just you and me, just you and me

Werewolves chase me, and statues come alive To tell me I’m broken and follow me at night

We’ll survive where we need to, someday when we’re grown We’ll drive away together, and build a new home

Stay with me love, and my dream will come true I’ve got everything I need, fighting monsters with you
