A Nightmare Made-for-Two

Lirik

[Verse 1] You pull the curtain, check the lock twice Popcorn burns beneath the kitchen light The menu waits with a hundred ways To lose your nerve before the opening frame [Pre-Chorus] You say, “Pick one, but make it good” I point where the worst ones should [Chorus] What’s your favorite scary movie? The one that makes you hide your eyes The one that leaves the hallway moving After the credits say goodbye Choose the story, dim the room Let the fear come crawling through What’s your favorite scary movie? Tell me what you’d make me watch with you [Verse 2] A phone goes quiet on the coffee table The house feels larger than it did before A floorboard answers from the upstairs landing Though nobody lives above the fourth floor [Pre-Chorus] You laugh and say it’s just a trick Then freeze when something taps the glass like this [Chorus] What’s your favorite scary movie? The one that makes you hide your eyes The one that leaves the hallway moving After the credits say goodbye Choose the story, dim the room Let the fear come crawling through What’s your favorite scary movie? Tell me what you’d make me watch with you [Bridge] No monsters in the kitchen No footsteps down the stairs Just your hand finding mine When the screen goes black between the scares If the ending leaves us guessing We can leave the lamp on bright You can tell me it was fiction I’ll pretend I believe you tonight [Final Chorus] What’s your favorite scary movie? The one that makes you hide your eyes The one that leaves the hallway moving After the credits say goodbye Choose the story, dim the room Let the fear come crawling through What’s your favorite scary movie? Tell me what you’d make me watch with you [Outro] The menu rolls, the room goes blue Pick a nightmare made for two
