[Intro] Porch steps dressed in paper moons A bowl of sweets beneath the spoon [Verse 1] You pin a crooked hat on tight I draw a grin in green and white The old sheet snags against the door We laugh and reach for one more floor [Pre-Chorus] The kitchen smells like cinnamon The neighbors pull their curtains in You lift your lantern, I take your hand Tonight the odd ones own the land [Chorus] Come on, come out, the night is ours With stitched-up capes and candy stars A paper crown, a painted face We turn the block into our place Oh, Halloween, let every strange heart shine Your hand in mine, your hand in mine [Verse 2] A tiny ghost in oversized shoes A pirate captain picking the tunes The porch pumpkins lean like old friends We trade our treats at every bend [Pre-Chorus] You give the shy kid one more sweet They take a brave step down the street A dragon tail sweeps through the leaves And even grown-ups start to believe [Chorus] Come on, come out, the night is ours With stitched-up capes and candy stars A paper crown, a painted face We turn the block into our place Oh, Halloween, let every strange heart shine Your hand in mine, your hand in mine [Bridge] When the last small footsteps disappear We set the lanterns by the stair You peel the silver tape from my sleeve Still wearing the grin you gave to me [Final Chorus] Come on, come out, the night was ours With stitched-up capes and candy stars A paper crown, a painted face We made the whole block our own place Oh, Halloween, keep that brave heart shine Your hand in mine, your hand in mine [Outro] One more sweet, one more goodbye Fold the cape and save the night
