On Your Porch

Artists : Format, The : On Your Porch

I was on your porch,
the smoke sank into my skin
so I came inside to be with you.
We talked all night,
about everything you could imagine
cause come the morning I'll be gone.
And as our eyes start to close
I turn to you and I let you know
that I love you.
My dad was sick.
My mom she cared for him.
Her love it nursed him back to life
and me I ran.
I couldn't even look at him,
for fear I'd have to say goodbye.
And as I start to leave
he grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me:
"What's left to lose?
You've done enough.
And if you fail, well then you fail
but not to us.
Cause these last three years
I know they've been hard
but now it's time to get out of the desert
and into the sun.
Even if it's alone.
So now here I sit,
in a hotel off of Sunset.
Well my thoughts bounce off of Sam's guitar
and that's the way it's been
ever since we were kids
but now, now we've got something to prove.
And I, I can see their eyes
but tell me something
can they see mine?
Cause what's left to lose?
I've done enough.
And if I fail, well then I fail
but I gave it a shot.
These last three years I know they've been hard
but now it's time to get out of the desert
and into the sun.
Even if it's alone.
...
I was on your porch last night, the smoke it sank into my skin.
