[Verse 1] The porch light buzzes low Spinning on cracked blue paint A moth darts in, pulls back Circles up the same lane Your shoes sit by the mat Still dark with rain That thin white spill Has me moving weird in the frame [Pre-Chorus] It’s too still out here Too still for my skin That light keeps watching Like it’s letting me in [Chorus] Make the porch light feel Like it’s calling me back Make the porch light feel Like a step on the track It’s shining for me But it don’t feel warm Make the porch light feel Like the eye of a storm [Verse 2] Screen door swings once Then settles again A rusted hinge sighs In the cold night wind I swear I saw A shadow cross through But maybe that glow Was playing me too [Pre-Chorus] It’s too still out here Too still for my skin That light keeps watching Like it’s letting me in [Chorus] Make the porch light feel Like it’s calling me back Make the porch light feel Like a step on the track It’s shining for me But it don’t feel warm Make the porch light feel Like the eye of a storm [Bridge] One small bulb, one weak pulse Hanging over the porch Feels less like a welcome More like a torch If I reach that step Will it go out fast? Or stay on forever When I turn my back [Final Chorus] Make the porch light feel Like it’s calling me back Make the porch light feel Like a step on the track It’s shining for me But it don’t feel warm Make the porch light feel Like the eye of a storm
