[Verse 1] I found your sweater on the kitchen chair Still smells like rain from September air You said you'd call when you got home safe I watched the road 'til the light went grey [Chorus] And I keep looking at the streetlights How they flicker for you and I And I know I should let go But your porch light is still on in my mind [Verse 2] We were kids with a cracked cassette Singing loud to a song we forget You drew a map on my open hand Said this is where we make our stand [Chorus 2 - bigger, add drums] And I keep looking at the streetlights How they hold on against the night And if the stars don't come tonight I'll still leave that porch light on for you [Bridge - soft falsetto, piano only] Oh, and I know I know it's over But some lights They just don't know how to go out [Final Chorus - stripped, intimate] So I leave it on In October Just in case you wander home Just in case you wander home
