It's the same old story being told
Inside my head
I'm too shy to straighten up my bones
And be a man

(Ah)
I've gotta tear this world apart
To let you in

My friends say that time's running out
So take the chance
Make a move 'cause the store won't stay open
Till the end

(Ah)
Won't you tear my world apart
(Ooh)
'Cause I know I need a start
To let you in

(Ooh), when it's over
I will see what I've done
Letting go too soon, oh
(Ooh), I'd be stronger
If you'd just step right in
'Cause I need a start
To let you in
Days pass and I'm still the same
Inside my head
And I can't stop thinking about
What you said

(Ah)
I gotta tear my world apart
(Ooh)
It's thе only way to start
To let you in

(Ooh), when it's over
I will see what I'vе done
Letting go too soon, oh
(Ooh), I'd be stronger
If you'd just step right in
'Cause I need a start
To let you in
