If I Let You In
Verse 1 You keep asking What I’m scared of Who said anything About scared? Maybe I just like you Right where you are Close enough to touch Not close enough to care You been patient I’ll give you that Never tried to push Past where I’m at But every time You look at me Like you already know What I won’t admit You say “That’s a lot of rules For somebody who don’t care” I say “Boy, don’t get beside yourself” You laugh Like you caught me there ⸻ Pre-Chorus Don’t make this More than tonight Don’t start reading Between every line I like you Maybe more Than I planned to But that don’t mean I’m ready To belong to you ⸻ Chorus If I let you in It’s only for the night If I let you in I promise not to bite If I let you in I’ll show you what’s inside If I let you in Leave before I open my eyes Don’t get comfortable Don’t go changing your mind You can have me For the moment But the morning Is still mine If I let you in Don’t make me tell you twice ⸻ Verse 2 Don’t leave your toothbrush Don’t clear a drawer Don’t start making plans We ain’t made before And if your shirt Ends up on my floor That don’t mean You live here now You smile Like you don’t believe me Maybe you shouldn’t I don’t know ’Cause I keep saying Keep your distance While I’m pulling You in close You know better Than to call me out So you just let me Have my way And somehow That makes it harder To pretend I want you gone When you stay ⸻ Pre-Chorus Don’t make this More than tonight Don’t start reading Between every line I like you Maybe more Than I planned to But that don’t mean I’m ready To belong to you ⸻ Chorus If I let you in It’s only for the night If I let you in I promise not to bite If I let you in I’ll show you what’s inside If I let you in Leave before I open my eyes Don’t get comfortable Don’t go changing your mind You can have me For the moment But the morning Is still mine If I let you in Don’t make me tell you twice ⸻ Bridge Maybe I like Knowing you’re here Without having to know Where this goes Maybe I like How you don’t ask me For more Than I’m ready to show You don’t have to Save me You don’t have to Wait Just don’t make me Promise tomorrow While I’m giving you Today And if you leave Before I’m sleeping… I might ask you Where you’re going But don’t smile That doesn’t mean Anything … Okay Maybe it means Something ⸻ Final Chorus If I let you in Maybe stay for the night If I let you in You still better act right If I let you in I might show you what’s inside If I let you in… You don’t have to leave Before I open my eyes Don’t get comfortable But you can stay awhile You can have me For the moment Maybe morning Gets some time If I let you in Don’t make me regret Changing my mind ⸻ Outro Just so we’re clear… This doesn’t mean We’re together. … Why you smiling? I’m serious. … Move over.
