Let the right one in 
 Let the old dreams die 
 Let the wrong ones go 
 They cannot 
 They cannot 
 They cannot do what you want them to do
 Oh ... 
 
 Let the right one in 
 Let the old dreams die 
 Let the wrong ones go 
 They do not 
 They do not 
 They do not see what you want them to 
 Oh ... 
 
 
 Let the right one in 
 Let the old things fade 
 Put the tricks and schemes (for good) away 
 
 
 Ah ... I will advise 
 Ah ... Until my mouth dries 
 Ah ... I will advise you to ... 
 
 
 Ah ... let the right one slip in 
 Slip in 
 Slip in 
 
 
 And when at last it does 
 I'd say you were within your rights to bite 
 The right one and say, "what kept you so long ?" 
 "What kept you so long ?" 
 Oh ...
