I was on your porch
The smoke sank into my skin
so I came inside to be with you We talked all night
about everything you 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
My mom she cared for him
Her loving nursed him back to life and me, I ran
I couldn’t 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 then you fail but not to us
’cause 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 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, we’ve got something to prove and I
I can see their eyes
but tell me somethin’
can they see mine? ’cause what’s 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 been hard
but now it’s time to get out of the desert and into the sun,
even if it’s alone… (even if it’s alone) even if it’s alone. I was on your porch last night
The smoke, it sank into my skin.
