So scared your life will end
You wonât let it begin
Your go away is here to stay
You peel your skin away
Dipped in salt you say,
âIâll never let âem have me, no wayâ
Porchlight
You pray while I say
I hope she hears you
You pray while I say I hope
No matter how it sounds
You ring the rusty bell
You never had to hear it yourself
With your head on the ground
Listen for distant sound
You just hear the pounding in your ear
Porchlight
You pray while I say
I hope she hears you
You pray while I say I hope
You pray while I say
I hope he hears you
You pray while I say I hope
Put up on the shelf
All that belong away
Let a seed become a day
I know you donât know the way
You donât pretend a way
The best thing for your boy is you let him hurt
Porchlight
