Let Bad In

I’ll sleep alone tonight
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 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
