Lock and Key - Sandra McCracken

You can hold your world inside

You can scream out loud

Or you can fight these enemies

And kid fears tonight if you want to

You can drive your car out to L. A

You can lose yourself just to make your way

You can change your mind

Or change your name if you want to

But you’re under lock and key

All by yourself

And sometimes you just need somebody else

I cannot read your complex mind

I can’t understand

All the reasons why

But if you let me in, I can try if you want me to

And I can say I’m sorry if you wanna hear it

It might be too little too late, my dear

I can’t take back the pain of all those years, but I want to

But you’re under lock and key

All by yourself

And sometimes you just need somebody else

If you want someone by your side

I could build a bridge

Across the river where we can

Wash these broken pieces downstream…

Do you trust me?

But you’re under lock and key

All by yourself

And sometimes you just need somebody else

Sometimes you just need --- somebody else
