Porchlight - Craig Cardiff

One month down;

two more months in

I can’t wait to see you again

I’m going to hold you so tight

Until your heart’s unbroken

Some of us got lost;

some got found

Mortgaged, car’d, kids, on the edge of town

Tell me what happened to the fireworks and

promises spoken?

All my friends are someplace else

I’m out here by myself

Leave the porchlight on and

your heart wide open

I went for a walk where I grew up slow

Hoping to see a face I’d know

I walked for hours

And didn’t meet a soul

I’m tired of other people’s bathrooms

and other people’s beds

Some of us stayed;

most of us fled

From this life

It can leave you a little bent and broken

I threw myself out into the world

And the world she received me

And landed me safe in

Safe into the nest of you

All my friends are someplace else

I’m out here by myself

Leave the porchlight on and your heart wide open
