Lyrics
That porch light’s been waiting again tonight…
There’s a shadow in the driveway
Before I reach the door
Boots still full of someone else’s war
Keys shake in my tired hand
Like they always do
Before I come back to you
You don’t ask me where I’ve been
You just let me breathe again
That front porch light still on for me
Like it always used to be
Even when I’m miles away in someone else’s pain
You keep the world from closing in
Let the daylight back again
When the night comes back too strong for me to stand
Yeah you never let me fall too far gone
With that front porch light still on
There’s a silence in the hallway
But it feels like grace
Every we are face to face
You read stories in my eyes
I never speak out loud
Still you hear them through our bond
You don’t need to understand
You just reach and take my hand
That front porch light still on for me
Like it always used to be
Even when I’m miles away in someone else’s pain
You keep the world from closing in
Let the daylight back again
When the night comes back too strong for me to stand
Yeah you never let me fall too far gone
With that front porch light still on
Every siren takes a piece of me
Every shift runs longer than it should be
But somehow you keep saving what I bring home
That front porch light still on for me
Still the place I’m meant to be
Even when the weight of everything won’t let me sleep
You hold the line I can’t outrun
You remind me who I was
Before the badge became the person I had to be
Yeah you never let me face this world alone
With that front porch light still on
Still on…
Waiting there for me
