Keep the Porch Light On（バージョン2） – Paper Static

Verse

Rain let up around eleven-two

Gutters humming a tune halfway through

Steam off the pavement, streetlight in a haze

Wet leaves stuck to the hood like a maze

Radio crackles some old faded soul

Puddle by the mailbox holding the whole sky

Screen door creaking, slow and low

I count the drips off the eaves going by

Pre-Chorus

Thunder's rolling further out to sea

Something in my chest finally lets it be

So I'll sit right here where the porch light hums

Chorus

Keep the porch light on

Let the wet road dry

Keep the porch light on

Til the clouds roll by

Nothing left to fix, nothing left to prove

Just the drip, the hush, the amber in the room

Verse

Coffee's gone cold but I drink it anyway

Neighbor's dog shakes off the end of the day

Chalk lines melting where the kids used to play

Everything softer now the storm's had its say

Moon's coming up through a torn-up cloud

Crickets tuning up, not too loud

I let my shoulders drop an inch or two

This is the hour when the noise pulls through

Pre-Chorus

Thunder's rolling further out to sea

Something in my chest finally lets it be

So I'll sit right here where the porch light hums

Chorus

Keep the porch light on

Let the wet road dry

Keep the porch light on

Til the clouds roll by

Nothing left to fix, nothing left to prove

Just the drip, the hush, the amber in the room

Bridge

Used to run from every rumble in the dark

Now I just listen how it softens into spark

Every storm forgets to say goodbye

It just fades to steam and stars and quiet sky

Chorus

Keep the porch light on

Let the wet road dry

Keep the porch light on

Til the clouds roll by

Nothing left to fix, nothing left to prove

Just the drip, the hush, the amber in the room

Outro

Porch light on

Porch light on

Til the morning comes
