Let Bad In

just like i did when i was a child.

and in the morning i'll wake

and i'll take my flight.

and i'll run so hard and i'll run so fast

that i'll run right back into my past.

maybe i'll be the man i want to be.

maybe i'll take the path that was briefly shown to me

where i let bad in.

where i could let bad in.

once you let bad in you cannot close the door.

now i watch you lean forward

and i watch you lean back.

i know every inch of you from the day we made the pact.

and i love you so much sometimes it scares me half to death.

with an innocence i have never known

and it sobers me with each breath.

oh but life is a big parade

and i'm learnin' each and every day

not to let bad in, oh, let bad in.

once you let bad in you cannot close the door.
