lyrics

I’m just a person like you
I try to be honest
When I can I buy food
I know you’ve got the right to refuse
I wouldn’t normally ask
But at least I’ve got shoes

Would you let me in?
I don’t have much to offer
But I’ll be your friend
If you let me in
You’ll see that I am much more
Than old clothes and skin
But you won’t, that’s fine, I’m gone.

I don’t want to put up a fight
I hate to be imposing
But I think I’ve earned the right
Feels like I’m traveling light
But I’m running like a victim
Though I’ve got nothing to hide

Would you let me in?
I don’t have much to offer
But I’ll be your friend
If you let me in
You’ll see that I am much more
Than old clothes and skin
Will you let me in?
I promise that I’ll be the best me I can be
But I can’t, you won’t, I’m gone.

*Instrumental break*

I know I don’t deserve a warm bed
But I’ll take a cold floor
It’s better than freezing
It always sounds worse in my head
I know that we’ve been here before
But less words were said

Would you let us in?
We don’t have much to offer
But we’ll be your friends
If you let us in
You’ll see that we are much more
Than old clothes and skin
Now it’s sinking in
If we don’t have a place to go
Then we’ll just have to go back home

Oh wait, it’s gone.
We can’t, it’s gone.
That’s fine, we’re gone.
