Porch Swing Promises (Version 2)

Verse

Creek is low this time of year

Your boots kick up the dust again

I'm folding laundry by the screen door

Watching you take out the trash like it's a date

The porch creaks soft beneath your weight

Sun sets orange behind the willow tree

You hand me lemonade in a Mason jar

Saying 'come sit down and stay

Pre-Chorus

I think I might be in for something real here

Something worth holding onto before it slips away

Is this what it feels like to fall in love?

Or is it just the porch swing sway

You catch my hand across your knee

And I'm already thinking 'come back tonight

Is this a feeling, or just a light breeze

Is this forever, or just one warm night?

Chorus

Porch swing promises on a summer evening sky

Crickets singing low, and you're looking at me

We're trading lemonade for the kind of love

I've been waiting my whole life to find in you

You take my hand across your knee

Saying 'stay right here with me

Porch swing promises on a summer evening sky

Don't let this night go by before we try

The kind of love that's written in the stars above

Right here on this porch swing, where I'll be loving you

Verse

Your shirt is stained from working hard all day

I'm ironing your collar like it's a promise to keep

We're not kids no more, but we still believe in magic

And right now nothing else matters but the way it feels when you touch me

The porch swing sways slow beneath our feet

Saying 'this is where I want to be

I'm watching the sun turn orange and low

Thinking maybe this could finally feel like home

Pre-Chorus

Maybe we're not so old after all

Maybe love comes back around when you least expect it to fall

Is this a new beginning, or just an evening breeze

You say 'come here close' with your voice and me

Is this the start of something big, or is it just the way it feels?

Chorus

Porch swing promises on a summer evening sky

Crickets singing low, and you're looking at me

We're trading lemonade for the kind of love

I've been waiting my whole life to find in you

You take my hand across your knee

Saying 'stay right here with me

Porch swing promises on a summer evening sky

Don't let this night go by before we try

The kind of love that's written in the stars above

Right here on this porch swing, where I'll be loving you

Bridge

Not the fireworks or the midnight air

But just your hand across my knee and me there

That's what feels like forever to me

This is our own slow-turning sun finally breaking through

Chorus

Porch swing promises on a summer evening sky

Crickets singing low, and you're looking at me

We're trading lemonade for the kind of love

I've been waiting my whole life to find in you

You take my hand across your knee

Saying 'stay right here with me

Porch swing promises on a summer evening sky

Don't let this night go by before we try

The kind of love that's written in the stars above

Right here on this porch swing, where I'll be loving you
