Gatekeeper lyrics
This song is about a person who is growing up and learning the lessons of life, and how their guardian can't protect them from it. Despite understanding the need for the lessons, their guardian worries about the struggles and challenges that their loved one will face, and can't help but want to protect them. The song conveys the bittersweetness of growing up and learning to be independent, and the heartache of the person that used to be able to keep them safe.

Eighteen years in my backyard
Kept me safe in your loving arms
But now what?
I can't be there forever
Little squares all lining up
You made it all so perfect but
I'm growing
And I can't be there foreverThe longer I stay on Auburn Street
The harder it'll be to leaveWho do you think you're saving?
The world is slowly breaking
I swear I'm strong enough to take the weight from off your shoulders
And you can't stop the changing
That everybody's making
I'll only get weaker if you stop me gеtting older
You can't be the gatеkeeperPieces of you made my heart
So you don't want it torn apart
I get it
But let me learn my lessons
'Cause someone will love me the same
But that don't mean you've got to give me away
I get it
Just let me learn my lessonsThe longer I stay on Auburn Street
The harder it'll be to leaveWho do you think you're saving?
The world is slowly breaking
I swear I'm strong enough to take the weight from off your shoulders
And you can't stop the changing
That everybody's making
I'll only get weaker if you stop me getting older
You can't be the gatekeeperCan't stop time moving too fast
If you can't let go you're only holding me back
Who do you think, who do you think, who do you think? (Mmm)
Can't stop time moving too fast
If you can't let go you're only holding me back
Who do you think, who do you think, who do you think?Who do you think you're saving?
The world is slowly breaking
I swear I'm strong enough to take the weight from off your shoulders
And you can't stop the changing
That everybody's making
I'll only get weaker if you stop me getting olderYou can't be the gatekeeper (x3)
