Porch Light On

[Verse 1]

You’re humming in my T-shirt

Coffee on the stove

Bare feet on the hardwood

Laughing as you go

You tuck your hair behind your ear

Ask if it looks fine

I say

“You’re my favorite view”

From anywhere in time

[Chorus]

Love don’t have to be fireworks

Sometimes it’s dishes in the sink

Your head on my shoulder

The way you blink when you think

If this is all we ever get

I’ll still be holding on

To quiet nights and easy days

And you with the porch light on

[Verse 2]

You’re circling hearts on napkins

At the corner store

Talking ‘bout a little house

Kids and muddy floors

You say

“We don’t need much at all

Just room enough to breathe”

I say

“Give me you and Sunday soup

And I’ll never want to leave”

[Chorus]

Love don’t have to be fireworks

Sometimes it’s dishes in the sink

Your head on my shoulder

The way you blink when you think

If this is all we ever get

I’ll still be holding on

To quiet nights and easy days

And you with the porch light on

[Bridge]

Years will crease the photographs

Frames along the wall

We’ll forget the fancy plans

But I’ll remember it all

The way you reach across the bed

Before the break of dawn

Mumbling

“Stay a little more”

Till the morning’s gone (mm)

[Chorus]

Love don’t have to be fireworks

Sometimes it’s dishes in the sink

Your head on my shoulder

The way you blink when you think

If this is all we ever get

I’ll still be holding on

To quiet nights and easy days

And you with the porch light on

And you with the porch light on
