Lyrics
In Okains Bay, oh I could have stayed, and never went home
It might have been brief, but at least I was free from all of my ghosts
That live in my head like reflections on water that only come once
I still haven’t learnt deceptions in the cinematic version of love
But I can’t get enough

These days, oh the world doesn’t sing to me quite how it used to
See this life is a touch too damn much for me and maybe that’s meant for me

Cause I know there’s a room where I’m happy
But I can’t find my way to the door
Tell me who wins the war ‘tween my heart and my head
I forgot what I’m suffering for
I surrender to dark, so when it all falls apart
At least I won’t have to pretend
And I know there’s a room where I’m happy
Let me in, let me in

To tell you the truth, I was wondering why you’d be so drawn to my voice
Like the tide to the moon, if you I move, honey it’s not a choice
Now I’m showing you all of these parts of myself
I’m terrified I’ll bring you closer to hell but

These days, oh the world doesn’t sing to me quite how it used to
See, this life is a touch too damn much for me and maybe that’s meant for me
Cause I know there’s a room where I’m happy
But I can’t find my way to the door
Tell me who wins the war ‘tween my heart and my hea
I forgot what I’m suffering for
I surrender to dark, so when it all falls apart
At least I won’t have to pretend
And I know there’s a room where I’m happy
Oh Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in,
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in
Let me in, let me in

I’d give anything to change, anything to change my fate
I know there’s a room where I’m happy
But I can’t find my way to the door

Tell me who wins the war between my heart and my head
I forgot what I’m suffering for
I surrender to dark, so when it all falls apart
At least I won’t have to pretend
And I know there’s a room where I’m happy
Let me in, let me in
