Ben Platt - Monsters Lyrics

He's got scary eyes and gritted teeth
And he's waiting there just underneath
Your blue bunk bed while you sleep
And he's in your head, not just your dreams
And I know he feels so real to you
But if I could tell you the truth
I'd say that he's not worth your time
He's just in your mind

Some day
There'll be monsters
Some day
There'll be problems
Right now
Count your blessings and your lucky stars
And be right where you are
'Cause you got all this time to breathe
'Til you grow up to be me

You got skinny legs and a heart that beats
Sunny skies far as you can see
But you make clouds that bring the rain
Spinning in a hurricane
But it's not your story, it's not your worry
Slow down boy, 'cause there's no hurry
Sure as the ticking of time
You'll be old in the blink of an eye

Some day
There'll be monsters
Some day
There'll be problems
Right now
Count your blessings, and your lucky stars
And be right where you are
'Cause you got all this time to breathe
'Til you grow up to be me

You don't see what I see
But right under the tears on your face
Is amazing grace

Some day
There'll be monsters
Some day
There'll be problems
Right now
Count your blessings, and your lucky stars
And be right where you are
There won't be all this time to breathe
When you grow up to be me
