Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Clock hits six
Coffee in a stained white mug
Badge on my chest
Keys hangin’ from my belt loop
Tug
Concrete echoes
As I walk that tier again
Counting doors
Counting days ‘til somethin’ else begins
[Chorus]
Steel gates
Open sky
I’m standin’ in the middle of my life
Got a ring on my hand
And fur on all our furniture at night
I hold the line
But I still dream in blue and white
Steel gates
Open sky
Can I chase both and be alright?
[Verse 2]
You’re in my shirt
Feeding dogs in the backyard sun
Cat on the porch
You laugh when the chickens run
You kiss my cheek
Say “you’re my hero anyway”
But I see planes
Cutting silver through a far-off day
[Chorus]
Steel gates
Open sky
I’m standin’ in the middle of my life
Got a ring on my hand
And fur on all our furniture at night
I hold the line
But I still dream in blue and white
Steel gates
Open sky
Can I chase both and be alright?
[Bridge]
I’m tired of razor wire horizons
Tired of locked-up views
But every breath I’m breathin’
Belongs to me and you
If I trade these walls for wind
And you’re still by my side (oh yeah)
Maybe home’s the runway lights
And every night you’re my guide
[Chorus]
Steel gates
Open sky
I’m standin’ in the middle of my life
Got a ring on my hand
And pawprints all across our quiet time
I hold the line
But I still dream in blue and white
Steel gates
Open sky
I’ll chase that dream
And hold you tight
