Let Me In
Olly Murs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You keep that light on in your window
Undo the locks and let me in
I've come seeking my salvation
Of one who's lost in search of it
Of one who's lost in search of it

Let me in and I will save you from the madness
Let me in and I will keep you from the storm
With every motion, every moment, that we've owned
I'll be here to break the fall

Keep that love light in your window
'Til I'll get back home to you
Lift my heart and set my soul free
Tell me love is the only truth
Tell me love is the only truth

Let me in and I will save you from the madness
Let me in and I will keep you from the storm
There is an open book with stories to be told
I'll be here to tell them all

Let me in and we can fill our lives with magic
Let me in and we could keep with each other warm
With every motion, every moment, that we've hold




I'll be here to break the fall
I'm always here to break the fall
