Gates Lyrics by Local Nomad

LOCAL NOMAD

2020

[Verse 1]
Blood moon on the rise
Got her hips to the skies
Blackout blue lights
New York on fire
When that sun comes up
Would you pick me up?
Would you take me home?
Can't be alone

[Chorus]
Gates (Woo!)
I've been trying so hard to get through
28
Never knew before I met you
You just wait
'Cause every wall I cannot get through
I'll escape
I've been trying so hard to get you

[Post-Chorus]
No one knows you like I know ya
No one knows you like I know ya

[Verse 2]
Baby sink or swim
Gonna fight to win
Been an underdog
But we keep it analog
If we say goodbye
For A little while
I'll come back to you
Like you knew I would

[Chorus]
Gates (Woo!)
I've been trying so hard to get through
28
Never knew before I met you
You just wait
'Cause every wall I cannot get through
I'll escape
I've been trying so hard to get you

[Post-Chorus]
No one knows you like I know ya
No one knows you like I know ya, yeah
No one knows you like I know ya (Hey!)
No one knows you like I know ya

[Bridge]
Forget the pain, forget the past
Forget your friends, they'll never last
Forget the noise that's in your head
Forget the world, love me instead
Forget the drugs, they'll never work
We only end up feeling worse
Forget the voices in your head
Fuck every word they said

[Refrain]
No one knows you like I know ya, yeah
No one knows you like I know ya (Woo!)
Listen

[Chorus]
Gates (Woo!)
I've been trying so hard to get through
28
Never knew before I met you
You just wait
'Cause every wall I cannot get through
I'll escape
I've been trying so hard to get you

[Post-Chorus]
No one knows you like I know ya (Hey!)
(No one knows you like I know ya)
'Cause no one knows you like I know ya
('Cause no one knows you like I know ya)
No one knows you like I know ya
(Oh-oh, no one knows you like I know ya)
'Cause no one knows you like I know ya (Woo!)
('Cause no one knows you like I know ya)

[Outro]
No one knows you like I know ya (Woo!)
'Cause no one knows you like I know ya
