Porch Light 2 (Version 2)

Verse 1

Porch light burning slow on the gravel drive

Auntie's kitchen window throws a warm line down the side

Smoke from her pipe curls through the screen and drifts away

Pre-Chorus

Hold your breath

Let it rise up

This is where I come when nothing else is real

Chorus

Porch light, porch light, take my worries low

Under your yellow glow we let go of what we know

You keep us safe in the dark of night

Porch light, porch light, everything feels right

Verse 2

Neon bleeding into the yard like a worn-out tie

The smell of slow-cooked collard greens drifts out and meets my eyes

Pre-Chorus

Hold your breath

Let it rise up

This is where I come when nothing else is real

Chorus

Porch light, porch light, take my worries low

Under your yellow glow we let go of what we know

You keep us safe in the dark of night

Porch light, porch light, everything feels right

Bridge

No need for curtains

Just give it up to you

Barefoot on the boards

Watching us come through

Chorus

Porch light, porch light, take my worries low

Under your yellow glow we let go of what we know

You keep us safe in the dark of night

Porch light, porch light, everything feels right
