Porch Light Humming 2 (Version 2)

Verse 1

Fender on the porch post, string humming through me

Your feet against mine where the gravel meets the knee

Creek water running slow in the bottom of my glass

The only sound I need to hear this summer pass

Dust kicking off the driveway every time you drive by

I hold the screen door open till your laughter gets to my eye

You turn up radio loud but we just hum along

This porch light humming, it's not a song at all, it's long

Pre-Chorus

And then there's that one moment when everything slows down

The crickets go quiet and the stars start spinning round

Your hand brushes mine on the rail of the old wooden stairs

That's when I realize we're standing right where we started from years ago

Chorus

It's a porch light humming, slamming shut behind us

Barefoot on the gravel running out of time, it's us

Every star is witness to how this feels inside me

This is how it starts when falling feels like homecoming

We don't need a whole town lit up bright to find our way

Just that one little porch light shining through the screen door sway

So I'll keep on humming till you come back around

Cause in this quiet, I hear the sound of love we've found

Verse 2

Your mama's recipe written on a piece of paper tied with twine

You show me how to mix it up under the kitchen light at mine

I learn your name for every single flavor and spice

And you teach me which ones belong by my side

You say this porch has been here long before we were born

A secret place where families come back to, year after year

I believe you when you tell me our love's already been made

This is just the time that finally breaks open every page

Pre-Chorus

And then there's that one moment when everything slows down

The crickets go quiet and the stars start spinning round

Your hand brushes mine on the rail of the old wooden stairs

That's when I realize we're standing right where we started from years ago

Chorus

It's a porch light humming, slamming shut behind us

Barefoot on the gravel running out of time, it's us

Every star is witness to how this feels inside me

This is how it starts when falling feels like homecoming

We don't need a whole town lit up bright to find our way

Just that one little porch light shining through the screen door sway

So I'll keep on humming till you come back around

Cause in this quiet, I hear the sound of love we've found

Bridge

No fireworks, no big parade

Just us two standing here, side by side under this old porch light shade

I don't need all those other things to make it true

This is where our story started, and that's what I'm holding on to

Chorus

It's a porch light humming, slamming shut behind us

Barefoot on the gravel running out of time, it's us

Every star is witness to how this feels inside me

This is how it starts when falling feels like homecoming

We don't need a whole town lit up bright to find our way

Just that one little porch light shining through the screen door sway

So I'll keep on humming till you come back around
