Porch Swing Lullaby 2 3

Verse

Your mom's got a plate of lemon bars

And the mosquitoes are starting to hum

You're wearing my old sweater

Twisted up in a way that I've never seen before

The streetlamp flickers like a broken heart

We're parked out front, but we don't go anywhere

The crickets start to pick it up

Like they know exactly what's going on here

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it in your chest?

That the whole night is already gone

Chorus

Oh, this porch swing lullaby

Is the only one I've ever known

Every summer ends like this one

In a haze of dust and gold

I don't want to wake up

From this feeling we call home

Porch swing lullaby

Take me back where we started from

Verse

You laugh at the way I say nothing

Like you're already gone, and we're just pretending

We're dancing in the space between our beds

Where all the rules about growing up just sort of melt away

I keep the porch light burning long after your eyes close

Hoping somehow that will hold us right here

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it in your chest?

That the whole night is already gone

Chorus

Oh, this porch swing lullaby

Is the only one I've ever known

Every summer ends like this one

In a haze of dust and gold

I don't want to wake up

From this feeling we call home

Porch swing lullaby

Take me back where we started from

Bridge

Maybe this isn't a goodbye at all

Maybe it's just a pause between the ballads

Every ending turns into a beginning

If we learn how to hold onto the quiet parts of us

I don't need a map or a plan or a name

Just give me your hand, and I'll follow you home

Chorus

Oh, this porch swing lullaby

Is the only one I've ever known

Every summer ends like this one

In a haze of dust and gold

I don't want to wake up

From this feeling we call home

Porch swing lullaby

Take me back where we started from

Outro

And so the porch light burns out

But in my chest, it's still glowing blue

Every summer ends like this one

In a haze of dust and you
