The Lyrical Genesis: There is a quiet, stubborn hope that lives in many INFJs. It's the belief that one day, without warning, the person who fits will simply arrive. This song is that waiting. The swept porch, the light left on, the heart that refuses to give up on the idea that somewhere out there is the soul who will knock on the door and make everything make sense. It’s a tender hope. It hasn’t happened yet. But the welcome has been ready all along. *** [Verse 1] I want to be there to open the door I been waiting here like forever before Just to see your face recognize mine Never strangers, just hard to find [Verse 2] I sweep the porch, I shine up the glass Each heartbeat slow but the moment fast Could be tonight, could be the spring It don’t take much, just everything [Pre-Chorus] I keep a light on in my chest I rehearse hello and all the rest No map, no text, no need to plan If you show up, I understand [Chorus] So come on by, the light is on I’ve been humming this welcome song If it’s tomorrow or some bright day I’ll be right here, love doesn’t stray [Bridge] There’s no lock and there’s no key Just that look you send to me Even silence knows the sign That your rhythm matches mine [Final Chorus + Tag] So come on by, the light is on I’ve been humming this welcome song If it’s tomorrow or some bright day I’ll be right here, love doesn’t stray [Tag] Oh come on by, don’t miss this chance This heart’s been saving you a dance
