"Monsters" lyrics

Been playing hide and seek all your life
With the monsters that hide in the night
Don't know where I lost you
But god, it'd be nice
To have you back sometime

And I've been trying
To help you fight them
Just please say

You've been doin' better
Tell me that you've been a mess
Tell me anything you want but please just tell me that
You've been doing better
Don't wanna hear that lie again
I got a baseball bat
Tell me where they're at
We'll keep swinging til there's no monsters left

Heart skips a beat
When my phone rings
Is there bad news, or is mom just checkin' in?

And I've been trying
To help you fight them
Just please say

You've been doin' better
Tell me that you've been a mess
Tell me anything you want but please just tell me that
You've been doing better
Don't wanna hear that lie again
I got a baseball bat
Tell me where they're at
We'll keep swinging til there's no monsters left

I'm swinging for the fences
I'm swinging til there's no more left
I can feel the tension
I'm with you til the end
I'm with you til the end

I'm swinging for the fences
I'm swinging til there's no more left
I can feel the tension
I'm with you til the end
I'm with you til the end

You've been doin' better
Tell me that you've been a mess
Tell me anything you want but please just tell me that
You've been doing better
Don't wanna hear that lie again
I got a baseball bat
Tell me where they're at
We'll keep swinging til there's no monsters left
