The Gate Lyrics by David Dallas

Falling Into Place

2013

[Verse 1: David Dallas]
It's so
Hard to say goodbye, pretend I'm yawnin'
To hide there's tears in my eyes, I'm just tired, right
It's an early flight, I had a late-night
Packin' up, couple files I was backin' up
Let's not start acting up, it's tough enough as it is
If I don't go, I can't say that I lived
And it'd be impossible to forgive myself
If I don't try to make a better life for us, this biz
Is all I've got, I wish there was another way
Wishin' that this industry was closer to home 'cause every other day
I'm second-guessin' myself, askin' if I've really got it
My worst fear is that you'd ever be out of pocket
All I ever wanted to be was a bread-winner
Every day I stick around here, my chance gets slimmer
My faith gets thinner and time something
That you can't take with ya

[Chorus: Ruby Frost & David Dallas]
Wish I could take you though, take you though
It'd be easier to carry this load
Take you though, take you though
It'd be easier to carry this load
That's my plane
Girl, there's boarding now
They just called out my name
So my feelings won't change
But there's just no more I can
Do for us if I was to stay
Pray to God you feel the same
Don't need no tears at the gate
Woah-oh-woah-oh-woah-oh-woah-oh-woah
Know that I'll be back again
Pray to God you feel the same
Don't need no tears at the gate

[Verse 2: David Dallas]
If we don't try then we're not alive
But if I've cut the head off then we won't survive, I hope
This bond strong enough to stop a guillotine, 'cause I know
That you'll be missin' all the little things, and so will I
Miss the kiss in the mornin', miss the hug after work
Miss the reassurin' talks, the massage when my shoulders hurt
I'll miss your touch and there's nothin' to replace that
Hope I'm never stupid enough
To think I could forsake that, do something I can't take back
I know you feel the same
I hear that worry in your voice, just know I feel your pain
Promise soon things'll all be real again
And we can visit all those places that we name
One thing's for sure, that's my feelings won't ever change
This ain't simple, but time something
That you can't take with you

[Chorus: Ruby Frost & David Dallas]
Wish I could take you though, take you though
It'd be easier to carry this load
Take you though, take you though
It'd be easier to carry this load
That's my plan
Girl, there's boarding now
They just called out my name
So my feelings won't change
But there's just no more I can
Do for us if I was to stay
Pray to God you feel the same
Don't need no tears at the gate
Woah-oh-woah-oh-woah-oh-woah-oh-woah
Know that I'll be back again
Pray to God you feel the same
Don't need no tears at the gate

[Outro: Ruby Frost]
Ba-da-da-da-da
Ba-da, da-da, da-da-da-da
Pray to God you feel the same
Don't need no tears at the gate
(Ba-da-da-da-da
Ba-da, da-da, da-da-da-da) Know that I'll be back again
Pray to God you feel the same
Don't need no tears at the gate
