Let Love In

I've been playing my new Goo Goo Dolls album constantly since Christmas (thanks, Karen!). I'm particularly addicted to the titular track. Is that because it's catchy or because I see something of myself in the lyrics? I don't know. After the crappiness that was 2006, I'm ready for a fresh start, and to let love in! Happy New Year!

You wait,
Wanting this world to let you in
And you stand there,
A frozen light
In dark and empty streets

And you smile,
Hiding behind a God-given face
But I know you're so much more
Everything they ignore
Is all I need to see

You're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in

And now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in

I wish,
Wishing for you to find your way
And I'll hold on
For all you need
That's all we need to say

I'll take my chances while
You take your time with this game you play
But I can't control your soul
You need to let me know
You leaving or you gonna stay

You're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in

And now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in

There's nothing we can do about
The things we have to do without
The only way to feel again
Is let love in

There's nothing we can do about
The things we have to live without
The only way to see again
Is let love in

You're the only one I ever believed in
The answer that could never be found
The moment you decided to let love in

And now I'm banging on the door of an angel
The end of fear is where we begin
The moment we decided to let love in
