Let Me In Lyrics
Woke up in smoke and flames
Eye to eye with a stranger
Five thousand photographs
Solemn burnt up in anger
Am I asleep still?
Tell me, I could have been
Don't let it tear us apart again limb from limb
Please let me in
But I don't want to look at you this way
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm begging, baby, let me in
Baby, just let me in
I'm begging at your door just let me in
Just let me in
I drank the wine of youth
Ended up in a coma
Your wicked silver tongue
No wonder nobody told you
That I'm awake now
First time I've ever been able to see what I should have seen
Way back when you let me in
But I don't want to look at you this way
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm begging, baby, let me in
Baby just let me in
I'm begging at your door just let me in
Just let me in
This willful waiting
Just won't end up saving
I guess this is farewell
Unless somehow, you let me in
Hey
See, I'm awake now
First time I've ever been able to see what I should have seen
Way back when you let me in
But I don't want to look at you this way
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm screaming baby let me in
Baby just let me in
i'm screaming at your door just let me in
just let me in
This willful waiting
Just won't end up saving
I guess this is farewell
Unless somehow, you let me in
Eye to eye with a stranger
Five thousand photographs
Solemn burnt up in anger
Tell me, I could have been
Don't let it tear us apart again limb from limb
Please let me in
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm begging, baby, let me in
Baby, just let me in
I'm begging at your door just let me in
Just let me in
Ended up in a coma
Your wicked silver tongue
No wonder nobody told you
That I'm awake now
First time I've ever been able to see what I should have seen
Way back when you let me in
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm begging, baby, let me in
Baby just let me in
I'm begging at your door just let me in
Just let me in
Just won't end up saving
I guess this is farewell
Unless somehow, you let me in
First time I've ever been able to see what I should have seen
Way back when you let me in
I'm staring through your window
I don't want to think of you this way
I'm screaming baby let me in
i'm screaming at your door just let me in
just let me in
Just won't end up saving
I guess this is farewell
Unless somehow, you let me in

I love Hot Hot Heat!
I like this...I heard it live first at their Leeds Fest set and it was awesome. It's a bit poppier, but that's not a bad thing. Can't wait for the new album :D
Cat x
p.s Anyone else think Steve Bays is a bit yummy??
i think steve bays is a whole lotta yummy. especially in the video when he sings "I'm begging, baby, let me in. Baby just let me in" . I love those Carrot Top-esque curls, dodgy yet sexy.
this is my least favorite hot hot heat song. ugh. it makes me cringe every time i hear it, it's so "poppy" like you said.
yeah.. like i said in some other HHH song, i think this album is way "poppier".. they lost their essence in almost all of the new songs, except for Harmonicas & Tambourines, Conversation and Give Up..
aaand i also think he's yummy hahaha
they really have been poppy for a few albums its the loss of... pace, the lyric are still pretty good just ... the singles mainly don't capture the energy of the band although i am going to see them in Glasgow tomorrow and i really hope they play a great deal of the older stuff.
This album doesn't have the same mystery to it, still a good album though 5 times out of a hundred should be next single i hope. =)
Obviously this is a song about a guy wanting to win back his now-ex girlfriend.
Man, can I ever relate to this song... Sounds like in the story of the song, the guy is somewhat feeling hopeless, saying
"This willful waiting Just won't end up saving I guess this is farewell Unless somehow, you let me in"
But for the sakes of me, and my situation with my love, I hope he does win her back, because I need some hope for the future myself. =(
♥
yeah, i guess it is 'poppy'; i dono, i don't like HHH that much anyway..
That I'm awake now First time I've ever been able to see what I should have seen Way back when you let me in
i loove that part, not sure why. i think it might be the way he sings it, or the whole 'my-eyes-are-open-now-i-get-it'ness of it all. i love that.
This is my favorite hot hot heat song!! It is just so inspiring to me. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!
