in

Emily Kinney

You called out my name at the opening party
We met the next weekend and you bought me coffee
Then Brooklyn, and Sweet Ups and four sips of gin
You threw me your keys and I let you in
To my first New York City apartment
You helped paint the walls, but got dirt on the carpet

But I didn't mind 'cause you're all that I wanted
Ignored broken glass, forgave each small sin
Each time you knocked, I let you in - to my heart
And then into my head

You bruised up my legs in my one person bed
Your actions felt bedsides, sweet nothings you said
With every fight, I let you in
No matter how late, I buzzed you in

In, in, inside
I find you waiting where I used to hide
In, in, in, inside
I can't chase you out, though I've tried and I've tried
In-side

I step on the stage, my head finally clear
Familiar laugh from house left rings in my ear
I'm scanning the audience thinking you might be here
Haven't talked in sometime
Don't know where you've been
Security's gone, you let yourself in

In, in, inside
I find you waiting where I used to hide
In, in, in, inside
I can't chase you out, though I've tried and I've tried
Inside

I find you waiting where I used to hide
In, in, inside
I can't chase you out, though I've tried and I've tried
Inside

What could this broken love be all about?
I've let you in, now I can't get you out
