Just me, the porchlight And time slipping away Back when summers felt like years We drank soda, not our fears Bike rides down that gravel road Mama’s voice was all I’d know Sneakers on the power lines We made wishes, crossing signs Didn’t care about the time Just the fireflies and sky Now I chase things I can't hold But that porchlight still feels like home I miss the way the world stood still Before the bills, before the pills Before we had to fake a smile Just to feel okay awhile Back when love was grilled cheese nights And dad would sing to kill the lights We were broke but we were free And that’s still everything to me We carved names into the tree Said we’d never lose that heat But friends moved and time forgot The promises we said a lot Now I drink to feel the same But it never hits my name Like when I’d fall and mom would say You’re stronger than the pain I chase lights, but they don't glow Like that porchlight back at home I miss the way the world stood still Before the stress, before the chill Before my dreams became a job And joy turned into something robbed Back when love was Sunday rice And no one lied behind advice We were lost but we were seen And that still means the world to me I’d trade this view for that front yard Where my heart first learned to start I’d give it all for one more day With no reason to run away I miss the way the world stood still Before the climb, before the hill Before we locked our hearts away Just trying to make it through the day Back when love wore muddy shoes And time was something we could lose We were small, but we were true And all I want Is back with you The porchlight’s still on Just waiting for someone to come home
