Rick Springfield

Released: February 19, 2016

I've got this picture here inside my head
Of you one morning early
You were still asleep in bed
The dog was snoring
As I left to catch a plane
And I saw your hairband laying there
I took it with me

I remember how you looked in love
Like angels kissed your face
There was nothing you couldn't rise above
You found my hiding place
You turned me to the sun
When you pulled the thread I came undone
I heard you say

Let me in
Why don't you let me in
Let me in
Why won't you let me in

Now those memories all hold on to me
Like pages from a book I wasn't meant to see
A rock of ages fall to pieces in my hands
As the ring slips off your finger
I run to catch it

And tonight I'm lying next to you
I hear you breathing
There's so much to say but words are few
Farewell to Eden
Though I'm standing at the gates
I'm on the outside and I'm looking in
Can you hear me

Let me in
Why won't you let me in
Let me in
Why won't you let me in

I caused a flood but I still let you drown
Your in my blood
God knows I won't back down
Without your love
The world won't turn around

Let me in
Why won't you let me in
Let me in
Why won't you let me in

I don't think the girl's in love
I don't think the girl's in love
I don't think the girl's in love
(repeats)
