Porch Light Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I would ask you how you've been, it's all over the internet

Oh, yeah, I mean we knew that after all

If you're looking for an autopsy or a half-assed half-apology

Then I think you picked the wrong time to make this call

[Verse 2]

It is not irrelevant that you stopped taking your medicine

But I'm giving you the benefit 'cause it's raining now

I'll tell you how the weather is, and I'll slip into some eloquently

Rambling mixed-messaging, I should shut you down

[Refrain]

But you don't, and it's cold, and it's cold, and it's cold

And I don't know, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alonе, I'm alone

[Verse 3]

I hope you tell mе that you're winding down, that you lost the taste to face the crowd

That whatever made you famous made you sick

But you can only do what pain allows, it ain't up to you to make it out

And there ain't no shame in calling this thing quits

[Refrain]

But you don't, and you don't, and you don't, and you don't, and you don't

You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost

[Chorus]

Poison you're spreadin' to my lungs

I ain't holdin' a breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all

And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you

I'll leave the porch light on

Heartbroken, each mornin'

When it's me that turns it off

[Post-Chorus]

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

[Verse 4]

You act like we just sit up here and wait for you to reappear

But, baby, there are bills to pay and your dad's road needs salt

And I try to drown out all the talk, the eyeballs in the parking lots

And tell people it ain't me you want, but I guess you're my fault

[Refrain]

But they don't, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost

And I choke, and I choke, and I choke, and I choke on the

[Chorus]

Poison you're spreadin' to my lungs

I ain't holdin' a breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all

And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you

I'll leave the porch light on

Heartbroken, each mornin'

When it's me that turns it off[Post-Chorus]

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

[Chorus]

Poison you're spreadin' to my lungs

I ain't holdin' a breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all

And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you

I'll leave the porch light on

Heartbroken, each mornin'

When it's me that turns it off

[Post-Chorus]

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost
