Gateway Lyrics
[Intro]
Gateway, gateway, gateway
I can’t open up that
Gateway, gateway, gateway
I can’t open
[Verse 1]
Ran into you at the drugstore
You were picking up your prescription
It’s funny cause I got addicted to you
When we were in love and even though you broke it off
I struggle with it like you are a bottle of pills
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I could give in to my dependency
But I move on because I know what’s bad for me
[Chorus]
'Cause seein' you, means
Callin' you, means
All over-over keep fallin' for you, means
Sleepless nights
Me in my mind, means
Cravin' a hit of you all the time
[Post-Chorus]
I can’t even have a taste
I can’t open up that gateway
Gateway, gateway
I can’t open up that gateway
Gateway, gateway
I can’t open up
[Verse 2]
Every time that I see you online
I wanna drop you a line, say hello
But I already know how it’ll go
Small talk but its a big deal to me
I get in my feelings too fast
Then I’m hurtin' when you don’t write me back
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I could give in to my dependency
But I move on because I know what’s bad for me
[Chorus]
'Cause seein' you, means
Callin' you, means
All over-over keep fallin' for you, means
Sleepless nights
Me in my mind, means
Cravin' a hit of you all the time (All the time)
[Post-Chorus]
I can’t even have a taste
I can’t open up that gateway
Gateway, gateway
I can’t open up that gateway
Gateway, gateway
I can’t open up
[Bridge]
(Gateway, gateway
I can’t open up that)
I used to spiral when I couldn’t get enough
(Gateway, gateway
I can’t open up that gateway)
So I moved on because I had to sober up (Had to sober up)
[Chorus]
'Cause seein' you, means
Callin' you, means
All over-over keep fallin' for you, means
Sleepless nights (Sleepless nights)
Me in my mind, means (In my mind)
Cravin' a hit of you all the time (All the time)
[Post-Chorus]
I can’t even have a taste (Woah)
I can’t open up that gateway
Gateway, gateway
No, I can’t open up that gateway
Gateway, gateway

What have the artists said about the song?
It’s based on a very real story; running into someone you used to be, but are no longer close with is always an interesting experience. For some people, they can brush it off depending on how it ended, but in my situation specifically, it left me feeling like the obsession was starting all over agai...
