Let Me In
Preston Powis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seem to fade out with time
And now I'm stuck here wishing
I could read your mind
Oh, I've tried!
Thought all along we'd turn this thing around
The more I tried, the more you held your ground
I hope that you haven't shut me out completely
And now we're left here
We're falling again
We're losing it all
Again and again
How'd we get here again?
What would it take for you to finally let me in?
It's more than I can take
To think that this, this could be the end
It hurts more than you know
'Coz I'm not ready to let you go
But I can't live this way anymore
Anymore
You need some time to think you say to me
I wont give up till I can help you see
You're not alone in this world
That's whirling past you
Oh no oh!
And now we're left here
We're falling again!
We're losing it all!
Again! And again!
How'd we get here again?
What would it take for you to finally let me in?
It's more than I can take
To think that this
This could be the end
It hurts more than you know
'Coz I'm not ready to let you go
But I can't live this way anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
What would it take for you to finally let me in?
It's more than I can take
To think that this, this could be the end
It hurts more than you know
'Coz I'm not ready to let go
But I can't live this way anymore
Anymore
These picture perfect memories
Seem to fade out with time
And now I'm stuck here wishing
I could change your mind
In the song "Let Me In" by Preston Powis, the singer mourns the loss of a relationship that seems to be falling apart. He talks about how the "picture perfect memories" of their time together have started to fade away, and he's left wondering what went wrong. He expresses his desire to understand what his partner is thinking, hoping for a chance to "read your mind". Despite his efforts to fix things, she doesn't seem to budge, holding her ground and shutting him out. The singer is left feeling heartbroken and confused, wondering how they got here again, falling apart over and over.
He tries to convince his partner not to shut him out completely, reminding her that she's not alone in this world that's "whirling past you". He empathizes with her need for space and time to think but is determined to keep trying to make things right. However, he's struggling to cope with the uncertainty, knowing that it's more than he can take and that the possibility of the end of the relationship hurts him deeply because he's not ready to let go, but he can't live this way anymore.
Overall, the song portrays the pain and desperation of a relationship that's on the brink of collapse, with one partner trying against all odds, while the other remains distant and unresponsive.
