So take a dip in the water

Is it as cold as you thought

(No)

You second guess what you're saying

Before you even open your mouth

And you don't

Give a damn about love

You're stuck standing in quicksand

Under that blood red sun

And you don't

Ever wanna die in vain

But this traveling troupe yeah

It'll leave town one day

You don't wanna talk about it no

Not worth tryin' anyway

Never ever wanna live without it no

Until you came across the gates

You're always begging your pardon

Know you been looking for a change

It always seems to get farther

Stuck spinning cartwheels in your brain

And you don't know

Exactly how it got this way

You're always looking for answers but

Oh but they're right in your face

And are you doomed

Tight hips cold hands

Why don't you come a little closer

And figure out where you stand

You don't wanna talk about it no

Not worth trying anyway

Never ever wanna live without it no

Until you came across the gates

And baby it's hard to change

When all the space in your brain

Just ain't the same everyday

Know you been looking for cures but baby

It was all the medicine that taught you how to hate

I know that you been unsure

You're scared to take a wrong turn

You got your face in the dirt

Until you came across the gates
