On Your Porch

I was on your porch
The smoke sank into my skin
So I came inside to be with you
And we talked all night
About everything we 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

Well my dad was sick
And my mom she cared for him
Her love it nursed him back to life
And me I ran
I couldnt 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 its 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
My thoughts bounce off of Sam's guitar
And that's the way it's been
Ever since we were kids
But now, now weve got something to prove

And I, I can see their eyes
But tell me something
Can they see mine
Cause whats left to lose
I've done enough
And if I fail well then I fail
But I gave it a shot
And 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 its alone

I was on your porch last night
The smoke it sank into my skin
