The Format - On Your Porch

 The Format - On Your Porch

 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

Well my dad was sick

And my mom she cared for him

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



[Pre-Chorus]

And as I start to leave

He grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me:



[Chorus 1]

"What's left to lose? You've done enough

And if you fail well 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."

[Verse 2]

So now here I sit, in a hotel off of Sunset

My thoughts bounce off of Sam's guitar

And that's the way its 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 something, can they see mine?



[Chorus 2]

'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've been hard

But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun

Even if it's alone



[Post-Chorus]

Even if it's alone

Even if it's alone

Even if it's alone



[Outro]

I was on your porch last night

The smoke it sank into my skin
