“Let Me In” is about a guy who rejects someone, then develops a crush on them later, only for them to reject him back.
[Verse 1]
Woke up in smoke and flames
Eye to eye with a stranger
5000 photographs
Saw them burnt up in anger
Am I asleep still? Tell me I could have been
Don't let it tear us apart again
Limb from limb
Please let me in
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't want to look at you this way
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm begging baby
[Chorus]
Let me in
Baby just let me in
I'm begging at your door
Just let me in
Just let me in
[Verse 2]
I drank the wine of youth
Ended up in a coma
Your wicked silver tongue
No wonder nobody told you
That I'm awake now, first time I've ever been
Able to see what I should have seen
Way back when
You let me in
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't want to look at you this way
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm begging baby
[Chorus]
Let me in
Baby just let me in
I'm begging at your door
Just let me in
Just let me in
[Bridge]
This white flag waving
Just won't end up saving us
This is farewell
Unless somehow you let me in
[Verse 3]
See, I'm awake now, first time I've ever been
Able to see what I should have seen
Way back when
You let me in
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't want to look at you this way
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm screaming baby
[Chorus]
Let me in
Baby just let me in
I'm screaming at your door
Just let me in
Just let me in
[Outro]
This white flag waving
Just won't end up saving us
This is farewell
Unless somehow you let me in
