Gatekeeper

18 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 forever

The longer I stay on Auburn Street
The harder it'll be to leave

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 gettin' older
You can't be the gatekeeper

Pieces 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 gotta give me away
I get it, just let me learn my lessons

The longer I stay on Auburn Street
The harder it'll be to leave

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 gettin' older
You can't be the gatekeeper

Can't stop time moving too fast
If you can't let go, 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, 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 gettin' older
You can't be the gatekeeper

You can't be the gatekeeper
You can't be the gatekeeper
