Porchlight

So scared your life will end You won’t let it begin Your go away is here to stay You peel your skin away Dipped in salt you say “I’ll never let ‘em have me, no way” 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 don’t know the way You don’t pretend a way The best thing for your boy is you let him hurt Porchlight Porchlight Porchlight
