When I let you in

You should have known it
Wouldn't you know it
Tell me you do
Don't play and act like you don't see it
Is pride the sin
Well, repent and give in
to me
Realize that
As my name escapes your lips
your heart skips beats
as blood flows to places
down below
where no one else should go
and where no one else should see
except me
because I am
with whom you want to be
and when I shut you out
your world trembles
but when I let you in
celebrations surround the globe
and when your name escapes my lips
once again your heart skips beats
as blood flows to places
down below
where no one else should see
except me
because I am
with whom you want to be
and when we surrender to
our wants
and when we admit
to our needs
we can't help but to feel free
of the burdens of the world
and the things that make us sad
and the people who make us mad
everything is silent
And when our names escape our lips
our heart skips beats
and blood flows to places
down below
where no one else should go
and where no one else should see
except us
because we are
with whom we want to be
with
for that moment
which will live on
forevermore
in our memory
because it's timeless
(that moment)
if for a second or for hours
years or just days -
a higher power
leads us
and intrigues us
to do
what we must do
in the shadows of
desire
Yes, a higher power
controls us
and urges us to be more
than anyone else could know
and the secret never unfolds
that As our names escape their lips
hearts skip beats
And their blood flows to places
down below
and they hide because they know
that we will travel
to where no one else should go
and where no one else should see
except you and me
because we are
meant to be
for eternity
