I Can't Get Inside
(Let Me In)

(all in quotes taken from "Let Me In" by R.E.M.)

I can’t get inside
Anyone’s thoughts
But this is what I do
Have I become bad
Or scary somehow?
I want to know
What are you thinking?

I can only help you if you let me
But you seem afraid
Do you really think I’ll hurt you?
Because you seem afraid
And I’ve heard them talking…

I can’t get inside
I’m not threatening
Why won’t you let me in?
Have I become scary?
I just want to reach you
Please, just let me in

“I only wish that I could” reach you
“Let me in.
Let me in.
I’ve got tar on my feet and I can’t see”
Why you’re pushing me away
Let me in.

“Hey, hey-ey
Let me in.
Yeah yeah yeah
Hey-ey-ey,
Let me in.”

I can only help you if you let me
Let me in
You seem afraid
Let me in
You know I won’t really hurt you
Let me in
I’ve heard them talking
But let me in

“Hey-ey-ey,
Let me in.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Hey-ey-ey,
Let me in.
Let me in.”
