Porch Light Static (Version 2)

Verse 1

Cigarette smoke rising off the porch rail

Gaslight humming in the dashboard glass

You said you'd meet me back at home

I never thought it meant the past

Counted every mile we drove

Every star that died of its own

Radio static, nothing on the screen

Just your voice coming through the speakers lean

Pre-Chorus

Where's the fire burning down the street?

Is it us or just our own feet?

Let me find out if it's still alive

Or just a rumor in my head tonight

Can you hear that noise I'm talking about?

It's pulling hard against what we've got

Chorus

Hold my hand through all the static

Porch light flickers off your jacket

We don't need to move again

Just watch this whole street burn like a single thread

Keep your eyes on mine, let me find it

Porch light static, we'll make our own design

Verse 2

Your mother's garden full of smoke and shadow

Every window humming with what we've been saying for now

The whole town's asleep under a sky of red

Every clock running slow like we're still stuck in bed

I keep the headlights on your face

So nothing leaves us till we get to this place

You laugh at all my maps that never pan out

Pre-Chorus

Where's the fire burning down the street?

Is it us or just our own feet?

Let me find out if it's still alive

Or just a rumor in my head tonight

Can you hear that noise I'm talking about?

It's pulling hard against what we've got

Chorus

Hold my hand through all the static

Porch light flickers off your jacket

We don't need to move again

Just watch this whole street burn like a single thread

Keep your eyes on mine, let me find it

Porch light static, we'll make our own design

Bridge

Maybe I should've stayed right here

Might have kept the whole town warm for years

But you said follow your heart till it sets fire to the night

I think that's us, I think that's light

(Hey)

Hey

Chorus

Hold my hand through all the static

Porch light flickers off your jacket

We don't need to move again

Just watch this whole street burn like a single thread

Keep your eyes on mine, let me find it

Porch light static, we'll make our own design
