The Gate Lyrics by Cubbage

Where We Left Off

2017

[Verse 1]
I was caught off guard
I was unprepared
Memories in parts
Never to be shared

I hope you found your peace
In all your happy lies
Cause all that's left of me has died

[Verse 2]
Every day
I erase a little more of you
Rewrite, replace, recycling plastic blues

I'm calling to the stars
To shine a bit more bright
Cause my mind is darker than the night

[Pre-Chorus]
And all these parts of me
Are finding ways to other people's hearts
And all this love; it's so cliché
Enslaved, expired days take hold of us

[Chorus]
I'm at the corner of the gate
Of my past mistakes
I see you everyday
But still I run away, run away

[Verse 3]
The clock strikes 10:00
About the thousandth time
How longHave I hit play, press stop, rewind?

And I recall a time when I did not know love
If only that were now because

[Pre-Chorus]
All these parts of me
Are finding ways to other people's hearts
And all this love; it's so cliché
Enslaved by expired that days take hold of us

[Chorus]
I'm at the corner of the gate
Of my past mistakes
I see you everyday
But still I run away, run away
