Let Me In

I found you among the shadows and the branches

A rare and precious thing

I tried to call out but I didn't hear an answer

You were too far away

It was the spring and my life was a patchwork of pieces

Sewn and tattered memories

I got the feeling yours was somehow the same

And I took to you like a bird takes to its wings

Let me in, let me in, let me in before my hands

Let me in before my hands begin

Let me in before you find that I'm hollow on the inside

Let me in before my hands begin to shake

We got married in the summer

We set ourselves to fall

It went right though we did the damn thing twice

Maybe I'm not the marrying kind

Let me in, let me in, let me in before my hands

Let me in before my hands begin

Let me in before you find that I'm hollow on the inside

Let me in before my hands begin to shake

Let me in before my hands begin to shake

Let me in before my hands begin
