Keep the Porch Light On

Verse

Taxi cracks the window down on Fifth and Mercer Lane

Glitter on my collarbone, mascara like rain

The bass is still ringing soft behind my ear

Sky turning peach and gray, my house is almost here

Pre-Chorus

And I don't need the neon anymore

I just need to find that porch, that door

Chorus

Keep the porch light on, keep it burning low

Let it call me home when the low sun starts to glow

Coffee's going cold but I don't care tonight

Keep the porch light on till I'm back in your light

Verse

Bare feet on the sidewalk, shoes hooked on my thumb

Sunrise breaking gold on the empty city drum

Corner store is opening, the shutters rolling high

Everybody's leaving out, and I'm still passing by

Pre-Chorus

And I don't need the neon anymore

I just need to find that porch, that door

Chorus

Keep the porch light on, keep it burning low

Let it call me home when the low sun starts to glow

Coffee's going cold but I don't care tonight

Keep the porch light on till I'm back in your light

Bridge

Six a.m. and the block's gone quiet

Steam rising off the roofs like a sigh

I can see it now down at the end of the street

One small flame still burning warm for me

Chorus

Keep the porch light on, keep it burning low

Let it call me home when the low sun starts to glow

Coffee's going cold but I don't care tonight

Keep the porch light on till I'm back in your light
