“On Your Porch (Acoustic)”-The Format

It is almost 2 AM and I am sitting up in bed drinking coffee and avoiding sleep. This song just came up on shuffle and I stopped to listen and it just hit me really hard and I started to cry. This is just so beautiful and heartfelt. It reminds me of this one night last summer that I was thinking about earlier today. It makes me miss things. I can’t sleep now. Maybe I’ll go outside.

I was on your porch
The smoke sank into my skin
So I came inside to be with you
And we talked all night
About everything we 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

When my dad was sick
And my mom she cared for him
Well her love, it 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
Well he grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me

What’s left to lose
Well you’ve done enough
and if you fail well then you fail
But not to us
And 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
Oh ever since we were kids but now
Well now we’ve got something to prove

And I
I can see their eyes
Oh but tell me something
Can they see mine?

‘Cause whats 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’ve been hard
But now its time to get out of the desert and into the sun
Even if it’s alone
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
