Porch Swing Prayer 2 (version 2)

Verse

Twelve dollar tree still lights the same way

Socks from grandma's drawer and I'm not ashamed to wear

The one record we never changed is still on repeat

Same four bars, same three words, same heat

Pre-Chorus

I know we're not kids no more but can't we just pretend?

For a few more hours let the magic stay with me till then

Chorus

Porch swing prayer, please don't let it fade

Hold on to the love that I was taught in grade

Sausage and lights, cold air on my cheek

This is home, this is where we find our peace

I'll never forget what Christmas used to mean

I'll hold onto it till the calendar turns clean

Verse

Cousin Jimmy's beard is longer now but still the same grin

Auntie brought the pie and I'm not pretending she baked it again

We all agree that this one song will never lose its spark

We dance in our socks right where we first left off at dark

Pre-Chorus

I know we're not kids no more but can't we just pretend?

For a few more hours let the magic stay with me till then

Chorus

Porch swing prayer, please don't let it fade

Hold on to the love that I was taught in grade

Sausage and lights, cold air on my cheek

This is home, this is where we find our peace

I'll never forget what Christmas used to mean

I'll hold onto it till the calendar turns clean

Bridge

Maybe we grow up but that don't have to mean

We stop believing or lose the magic when

It's still right here on my tongue and in the cold air

This is my homecoming, I'm not leaving anywhere

Chorus

Porch swing prayer, please don't let it fade

Hold on to the love that I was taught in grade

Sausage and lights, cold air on my cheek

This is home, this is where we find our peace

I'll never forget what Christmas used to mean

I'll hold onto it till the calendar turns clean
