So come on let me in, I will be the sun
(And I know I could be more clever)
I will wake you up, I am who I was
(And I know I could be more strong)
Just open up your heart, open up your heart, open up your heart
(And I know I could be more clever
And I know I could be more)

So I came to your window last night
I tried not to throw stones
But I wanted to come inside
Now I’m causing a scene, but you need a reason to smile
Oh no, what have I done?
There’s no one to keep me warm
