Porch Light Lyrics

[Intro] Mm, mm-mm [Verse 1] I would ask you how you've been, it's all over the internet

But, hey, I mean, you knew that after all If you're looking for an autopsy or a half-assed half-apology Then I think you picked the wrong time to make this call It is not irrelevant that you stopped taking your medicine

But I'm giving you the benefit 'cause it's raining out I'll tell you how the weather is And you'll slip into some eloquently ramblin' mixed-messaging I should shut you down

[Refrain] But it's cold, and it's cold, and it's cold, and it's cold, and it’s cold And I don't know, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone [Verse 2]

I hope you tell me that you're winding down That you lost thе taste to face the crowd That whatеver made you famous made you sick That you can only do what pain allows

It ain't up to you to make it out And there ain't no shame in callin' this thing quits [Refrain] But you don't, and you don't, what you don't, and you don't, and you don't

You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, and you're— [Chorus] Poison spreading to my lungs I ain't holdin' breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all

And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you I'll leave the porch light on Heartbroken, each morning when it's me that turns it off [Post-Chorus]

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes [Verse 3] You act like we just sit up here and wait for you to reappear But, baby, there are bills to pay and your dad's road needs salt

And I try to drown out all the talk, the eyeballs in the parking lots And tell people it ain't me you want, but I guess you're my fault [Refrain] You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost

And I choke, and I choke, and I choke, and I choke on the— [Chorus] Poison spreading to my lungs I ain't holdin' breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all

And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you I'll leave the porch light on Heartbroken, each morning when it's me that turns it off [Post-Chorus]

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes [Bridge] Ooh-oh [Chorus]

Poison spreading to my lungs I ain't holdin' breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you I'll leave the porch light on

Heartbroken, each morning when it's me that turns it off [Post-Chorus] So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
