Arrival Gate

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I’m at the gate with my name on my tongue Watchin’ the doors like a drum when it comes Then you step out with that grin and your bag And my whole black week turns bright in a flash I pick you up, we don’t need much talk Just your hand in mine and the car in park My life was a room with the windows shut Now it’s all color when you show up [Pre-Chorus] We laugh too hard in the slow-moving line Say the same things like we read each mind Every small thing feels brand new When it’s me, and it’s you, and it’s you [Chorus] You make me feel alive You make me feel alive Color in my bones Come back, stay a while You make me feel alive You make me feel alive Then you leave me here With my waiting game [Verse 2] We talk all night in that easy way Swap little dreams like a deck of cards laid Same songs, same jokes, same hungry kiss For a couple of days, it’s a world like this We make love like time don’t exist Then dawn gets brave and it steals your wrist Back to your place, back to my bed I count your voice in my head [Pre-Chorus] And the house goes soft when the door shuts slow Got your jacket on my chair like a shadow I’m still warm from the way you move Then the silence comes through, comes through [Chorus] You make me feel alive You make me feel alive Color in my bones Come back, stay a while You make me feel alive You make me feel alive Then you leave me here With my waiting game [Bridge] So I mark the days by your next arrival Heart on a string, but I keep survival One more night, one more run Till your plane lands and the hurt comes undone [Chorus] You make me feel alive You make me feel alive Color in my bones Come back, stay a while You make me feel alive You make me feel alive Then you leave me here With my waiting game
