Those Doors
(Through which the Gossip Girls became Experienced)

It has been said if we take this
It will bring us back to tomorrow
Before we even left - last week
We had no ideas to borrow

I think he made this blue liqueur
From the drops of his own eyes
You have to be sure to swallow with care
To appreciate its sighs

Like I said before we left
We were quite bereft of "knowledge"
Too much noise and trivial concerns
Made flying past this table hard to manage

I know the bottle says "Eat Me" too -
That's pretty normal for a place like this
Take it firm in hand and give it a go
And softly soon the catch will release

"So this is how we both return?"
Yes, this and a will to way, to way
"Then I too will share this draught
And anything else you will or say!"

It's getting clearer this is not the same
I don't think it's ever with me -
Once you've taken those doors your claim
To a greater or lesser life will be

I think he made this from his own eyes
Be sure to swallow all of its sighs
