Verse Midnight dripping from the streetlights Jack-o’-grins along the way Shadows stretching, talking nonsense Every rule has gone away Floorboards laugh beneath our sneakers Cobwebs tickle when we run Something wicked feels contagious But we’re having way too much fun Pre-Chorus Candles flicker like they’re gossiping The walls all know our names When the clock skips twelve to thirteen Nothing’s ever quite the same Chorus Trick or treat, yeah, come alive Monsters out in borrowed smiles Sugar highs and moonlit screams It’s spooky, silly, in-between Put a mask on, misbehave Be the ghost you couldn’t save One night weird, one night free Oh-oh—happy Halloween Bridge (optional, chanty) Boo to the dark, cheers to the fright Laughing at danger, dancing with night If you hear footsteps, don’t turn around That’s just the fun making spooky sounds Final Verse Dawn is waiting at the edges Orange skies begin to bruise Makeup melting, masks half-falling Still don’t wanna tell the truth If tomorrow steals the magic Let it try, we won’t pretend We’ll remember how the darkness Let us be ourselves again
