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 couldnt 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 well then you fail

But not to us

Cause 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

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 weve got something to prove

And I, I can see their eyes

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 it's time to get out of the desert

And into the sun

Even if its alone

I was on your porch last night

The smoke it sank into my skin
