lyrics

What do you dream about while I awake from dreaming of you?
While I try to turn my light out, what is it you do?
Where do you go when you don't have a plan?
Who are you when you're not the front man?
Won't you show me?
Won't you let me in?
Just show me, darling.
Let me in!

Why am I freezing in the heat while you're struttin' around so cold?
Why'd you run that honey mouth, salinate, retreat, withhold?
Why do you play like you don't give a damn?
& who are you when you're not the front man?
That's what I wanna know!
Why don't you let it show?
I wanna know so badly,
I gotta let it go!
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Show me.
Let me in.
Just show me!
Let me in!
Whoa yeah yeah!

I don't want to feel your touch.
No, we don't need to talk so much.
Just keep off my mind & I'll stop asking “Why?”
& ask “How do I get my head unstuck?”

May we forget how this whole game began?
You started a fire cuz you know that you can.
No promises here, ain't no room for demand,
All I require is your line in my sand
& how would I know if you do give a damn?
Cuz who are you when you're not the front man?

Won't you show me?
Oh! Let me in!
Just show me, darlin'!
Let me in, baby, ohh
show me...
knock knock!
Let me in!
Whoa yeah yeah...
