You Want In
You Want In
Kim-Char Meredith
Verse 1
You want in
To the place I retreat
When I’m feeling wounded.
You want in,
But I close down
And shut everyone out—
You included.
Verse 2
You want in,
But I cringe as you touch
My sensitive skin.
You want in,
And I don’t know why I do it,
But here I go
Doing it again.
Chorus
What I wouldn’t give
To be open,
To unfurl like a flag in the wind.
I want to live
My life open,
’Cause I want you,
And you want in.
You want in.
Verse 3
You want in,
But I’m curled up in a ball
On my side of the bed.
You want in,
But I’m rocking like a baby,
Staring into nothingness.
Chorus
What I wouldn’t give
To be open,
To unfurl like a flag in the wind.
I want to live
My life open,
’Cause I want you,
And you want in.
You want in.
Bridge
And time and time again,
You wait for the winter to thaw,
Till finally I find spring again
In the warmth of your love.
Final Chorus
Oh, what I wouldn’t give
To be open,
To unfurl like a flag in the wind.
I want to live
My life open,
’Cause I want you,
And you want in.
You want in.
You want in.
You want in.
