I was on your porch,<br />
The smoke sank into my skin,<br />
So I came inside to be with you,<br />
We talked all night, <br />
About everything you could imagine,<br />
'Cause come the morning, I'll be gone,<br />
And as our eyes start to close, <br />
I turn to you and I let you know, <br />
That I love you. <br />
<br />
Well, my dad was sick,<br />
My mom she cared for him,<br />
Her loving nursed him back to life,<br />
And me, I ran, I couldn't even look at him, <br />
For fear I'd have to say goodbye, <br />
And as I start to leave, <br />
He grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me, <br />
"what's left to lose? You've done enough, <br />
And if you fail then you fail but not to us, <br />
'Cause these last three years, <br />
I know they have been hard, <br />
But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun,<br />
Even if it's alone." <br />
<br />
So now here I sit, <br />
In a hotel off of Sunset <br />
My thoughts bounce off Sam's guitar, <br />
And that's the way it's been, <br />
Ever since we were kids, but now, <br />
Now, we've got something to prove,<br />
And I, I can see their eyes, <br />
But tell me something, can they see mine? <br />
'Cause what's left to lose? <br />
I've done enough, <br />
And if I fail then I fail but I gave it a shot,<br />
'Cause these last three years I know they have been hard, <br />
But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun, <br />
Even if it's alone,<br />
(Even if it's alone) <br />
Even if it's alone. <br />
<br />
I was on your porch last night, <br />
The smoke, it sank into my skin.
