Turnpike Gates (Lifetime cover) Lyrics

We would drag ourselves to bed
And sleep took everything I had
I kept it up til he would call
You made me feel like a criminal

And then there's you
You kept a smile
Though I would always walk the wire
You gave it all

I gave you reason to have doubt
I had to get out of there
I took the stairs
I don't wanna fight with you if I can't be the one to have you

You sat that chair
Like a queen
In the kitchen
I memorized the lines your eyes made at every squint you shot my way

We would drag ourselves to bed
And sleep took everything I had
I kept it up til he would call
You made me feel like a criminal

And then there's you
You kept a smile
Though I would always walk the wire

Oh, but you're miserable
And I'm useless
Always making up excuses

I made you cry
Too many times
So I'm hanging up that line
I'm throwing rocks at your floor
I'm knocking down your front door
I'm desperate tonight and I just wanna fight
It's my confusion that lets me act so cold
So now I'll go, go, go

And you wanna be just left alone
Put down that phone
Cause if you want me just call out
Hey boy

The Carpal Tunnel of Love

We would drag ourselves to bed
And sleep took everything I had
I kept it up til he would call
You made me feel like a criminal

And then there's you
You kept a smile
Though I would always walk the wire
You gave it all

I gave you reason to have doubt
I had to get out of there
I took the stairs
I don't wanna fight with you if I can't be the one to have you

You sat that chair
Like a queen
In the kitchen
I memorized the lines your eyes made at every squint you shot my way

We would drag ourselves to bed
And sleep took everything I had
I kept it up til he would call
You made me feel like a criminal

And then there's you
You kept a smile
Though I would always walk the wire

Oh, but you're miserable
And I'm useless
Always making up excuses

I made you cry
Too many times
So I'm hanging up that line
I'm throwing rocks at your floor
I'm knocking down your front door
I'm desperate tonight and I just wanna fight
It's my confusion that lets me act so cold
So now I'll go, go, go

And you wanna be just left alone
Put down that phone 
Cause if you want me just call out
Hey boy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Does anyone know how old this song is? It's very cutesy and charming since it's all acoustic but I doubt it's a final recording...f
