The Gate's Still Open

Tekst piosenki

Intro

Zwrotka 1

The trucks came early with their horns
you bolted through the fence at three
I shouted down the frozen tracks
the driver wouldn't wait for me

Pre-Chorus

I propped it with a brick
before they pulled me in
and left it wi-i-ide

Build

Refren

The gate's still open
your bowl's by the door
nobody's mad at you, boy
the gate's still o-o-open

Drop

(still o-o-open)

Zwrotka 2

Down south the nights are warm and loud
a stranger's dog barks through the wall
I wake at six and reach for you
and pat the floor where you would sprawl

Pre-Chorus

My shirt is on the step
the one you used to steal
the gate is propped wi-i-ide

Build

Refren

The gate's still open
your bowl's by the door
nobody's mad at you, boy
the gate's still o-o-open

Mostek

Eleven years at six o'clock
you'd wait for me beside the gate
I never knew how long that was
and now I'm the one who waits

Build

Refren

The gate's still open
your bowl's by the door
nobody's mad at you, boy
the gate's still o-o-open

Drop

(still o-o-open)
