Let Me In
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Counting billboard signs
And girls in Jesus chic
The deserted minds
Still I feel like the freak
Who can do no right
If I'm sinking into sand
Drive a thousand miles
To get away
Here I go…
Open road…
Radio playing "California Girls"
But I'm not even close
To the way I want to
Fit in to my skin
Let me in…
Well I hit the shift with Reno on my mind
The morning chill and daffodil
High desert does me right
Then the day sets in
And I'm in LA again
And I got no time to lay around
Here I go…
Open road…
Radio playing "California Girls"
But I'm not even close
To the way I want to
Fit into my skin
Let me in…
Find a nick name and I try it on for size
Hitting shitty towns along the 405
To get away, change my name
But I'm still the same
Here I go…
Open road…
Radio playing "California Girls"
But I'm not even close
To the way I wanna fit
On your list
Of what went wrong
Now it's time to move along
Dirty knees
Seventeen was a long, long time
It won't come back again
Let me in
