[Verse 1]
It's 3am, morning after Christmas
As your eyes light up like fireworks
I had no idea I’d miss this like I do
And you're never optimistic as I swing between the sheets
Your sweet heart beats a love electric
[Pre-Chorus]
Tiny dance
You’re the answer
You’re the drug I just can’t quit
So I might give you all I have to give
[Chorus]
And it’s all I ever wanted
And it’s all I’ll ever need
And you saved me from the monsters in my head
I believe, I believe
Valkyrie, the monster here is me
[Verse 2]
So let's pretend
We’re back in last December
Where we stayed up 'til the sun rose
Saying no more second chances
(And you smiled)
[Pre-Chorus]
The sweetest thing I’d seen
Since you kissed me like the first time
Light me up like gasoline
I’m a liar
I am fire
I’m in love with all your sin
So I might give you all I have to give
[Chorus]
And it’s all I ever wanted
(Hey)
And it’s all I’ll ever need
And you saved me from the monsters in my head
I believe, I believe
Valkyrie, the monster here is me
(The monster here is me)
[Outro]
Na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
And it’s all I ever wanted
And it’s all I’ll ever need
And you saved me from the monsters in my head
I believe, I believe
Valkyrie, the monster here is me
