[Verse 1]
When the last light clicks
Off in the hall
Every clock holds
Its breath on the wall
Pillows sink deeper
Blankets don’t move
Even the dust
Falls asleep in the room
[Pre-Chorus]
And you think that it’s over
Nothing left to see
But the dark has a doorway
Only dreams have a key
[Chorus]
When the world goes quiet
They all wake up
Little secret footsteps
Spilling your luck
Tiptoe through the teacups
Swinging on the broom
Mystical creatures
Dancing in your room
(oh, they’re dancing in your room)
[Verse 2]
One made of moonlight
Sips from your glass
One made of dandelions
Tickles your hands
They read your drawings
Pinned to the door
Giggle at the scribbles
On your bedroom floor
[Pre-Chorus]
They don’t want to scare you
Just to look around
Try on all your shadows
Hop from sound to sound
[Chorus]
When the world goes quiet
They all wake up
Little secret footsteps
Spilling your luck
Tiptoe through the teacups
Swinging on the broom
Mystical creatures
Dancing in your room
(yeah, they’re dancing in your room)
[Bridge]
If you keep your eyes closed
You might hear them sing
Names you’ve never heard yet
Like a silver string
Promise they’ll be careful
Put it all back right
Leaving just a sparkle
On the edge of night
[Chorus]
When the world goes quiet
They all wake up
Little secret footsteps
Spilling your luck
Tiptoe through the teacups
Swinging on the broom
Mystical creatures
Dancing in your room
When the world goes quiet
They come for you
Guarding every heartbeat
Till the sky turns blue
