Let Me In
You feel the warmth
sun on your bodies, your skin hot to touch
Got to let the burn go under
Your lips a blush
flowing the blood cells, this mouth can erupt
Skin of earth is rough don't rupture
and I say hey
hey
hey
What lovely evening; moon above my eye
and I say wait
wait
wait
Didn't think this evening...pressure's building high
I shield; a corpse
Something you wanted, you did have to say
but my tongue got caught right under
I need a road
Tires are heaving, this run can't be raced
let me fall, don't watch my blunder
And I say come
come
come
Sit beside me friend, I didn't say: Just let it end
And I say stay
stay
stay
I know my truths are hard to find, but you'll dig deep for a little lie
Let me in
Let me in
Let me in
I didn't say: Let it end
Just let me in
breath from my wind
You drank my taste
don't let it go to waste
You let me in
breath from my wind
You drank my taste
Don't let it go to waste
Don't let it go to waste
Don't let it go to waste
...
Just reach again; I'll pace.
