Fires on the Porch（版本 2）

Verse

Porch swing sways in the softest breeze

Tongue flicks out catching a hum of bees

Soda glass sweating down my hand

Sky turns pink over the oak trees

Bare feet on the railing feel wide open

Like the whole world decided to leave me alone

Pre-Chorus

Now why'd it take you till the light comes up

To tell me everything I needed to hear

Why'd it take this whole quiet and still

For my chest to start opening for sure

Chorus

Oh, fires on the porch light up what I see

Fires on the porch lighting up the evening in me

No clock, no name, just ash in the air

Fires on the porch lighting up who I am there

Every spark, it sets a piece free

Fires on the porch singing back to me

Verse

Smoke curls thin and lazy through the dark

Somebody's laughing in the kitchen spark

Shadows stretch wide along the wall

I watch them grow where my shoulders used to fall

The fire crackles low but I can see

A person standing up from being unsure of me

Pre-Chorus

Now why'd it take you till the light comes up

To tell me everything I needed to hear

Why'd it take this whole quiet and still

For my chest to start opening for sure

Chorus

Oh, fires on the porch light up what I see

Fires on the porch lighting up the evening in me

No clock, no name, just ash in the air

Fires on the porch lighting up who I am there

Every spark, it sets a piece free

Fires on the porch singing back to me

Bridge

Maybe you didn't have to light this flame

Maybe it was burning somewhere else the whole time

And maybe it's still burning where you're at

But I can feel your heart in every spark

Chorus

Oh, fires on the porch light up what I see

Fires on the porch lighting up the evening in me

No clock, no name, just ash in the air

Fires on the porch lighting up who I am there

Every spark, it sets a piece free

Fires on the porch singing back to me
