Let Me In

Let Me In
Music and Lyrics by Rebecca Minor

It is unusually
Difficult for someone like me
To play it cool.
I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I like that you’re kind of tall,
And how we’re always having a ball
Just playing ’round.
I never like to leave.

We are on this precipice,
And yet there’s something in your kiss
Keeping me from getting near.
I wish it wasn’t so unclear.

What do I have to do to prove
That I am worth your taking a chance on?
Are you unwilling to remove
This pedestal your independence stand on?
I agree there has to be friendship to feed the spark.
But I can’t be there for you if you’re leaving me in the dark.
Let me in.

Everything is going well.
Yet, I don’t know what I can tell
My humble hope.
I’m still walking on eggshells.
I admit I’ve rushed before.
And that’s not what I want anymore.
It seems we’ve both
Experienced what that spells.

But it would feel so nice to say
You light me up like a sunny day.
I’ll keep it to myself a while,
Until I feel I’m not on trial.

What do I have to do to prove
That I am worth your taking a chance on?
Are you unwilling to remove
This pedestal your independence stand on?
I agree there has to be friendship to feed the spark.
But I can’t be there for you if you’re leaving me in the dark.
Let me in.

Let me in
Please make your heart known.
Let me in.
I can’t do this alone.

What do I have to do to prove
That I am worth your taking a chance on?
Are you unwilling to remove
This pedestal your independence stand on?
I agree there has to be friendship to feed the spark.
But I can’t be there for you if you’re leaving me in the dark.
Let me in. Let me in.
Won’t you let, won’t you let, won’t you let
Oh, let me in.
