On Your Porch

i was on your porch

the smoke sank into my skin

so i came inside to be with you

and we talked all night,

about everything we could imagine

cause come the morning i'll be gone

and as our eyes start to close,

i turn to you and i let you know,

that i love you



well my dad was sick

and my mom she cared for him

her love it nursed him back to life

and me i ran,

i couldnt even look at him,

for fear i'd have to say goodbye

and as i start to leave he grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me,



whats left to lose,

you've done enough

and if you fail well then you fail,

but not to us

cause these last three years,

i know they've been hard

but now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun

even if it's alone



so now here i sit,

in a hotel off of sunset

my thoughts bounce off of sam's guitar

and thats the way it's been,

ever since we were kids but now,

now we've got something to prove



and i,

i can see their eyes

but tell me something,

can they see mine?



cause whats left to lose,

i've done enough

and if i fail, well then i fail, but i gave it a shot

and these last three years,

i know they've been hard

but now its time to get out of the desert and into the sun

even if it's alone



even if it's alone



i was on your porch last night,

the smoke it sank into my skin
