The Latch
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
I found your gate hung with rust
Half swallowed up by the grass
You told me it hadn't opened in years
But you handed me the key with trust

[Chorus]
Jeremy, you let me through
Nobody else ever knew
There's a whole life behind that wall
And Jeremy, you let me in too

[Verse 2]
I could have stayed on the road
Never asked what the old wall hid
You didn't have to swing that gate wide
But Jeremy, you did

[Pre-chorus]
I felt the hinge give way
Heard the iron finally speak
And something in me leaned

[Chorus]
Jeremy, you let me through
Nobody else ever knew
There's a whole life behind that wall
And Jeremy, you let me in too

[Bridge]
Some gates rust shut for good
Some never learn to bend
You could have left me standing there
Instead you called me a friend

[Chorus]
Jeremy, you let me through
Nobody else ever knew
There's a whole life behind that wall
And Jeremy, you let me in too

[Outro]
The gate still hangs where it always did
But now it stays open for me
