Porch Light

Oooh

I would ask how you′ve been, it’s all over the internet
But hey I mean you knew that after all
If you′re looking for an autopsy or a half-half apology
Then I think you picked the wrong time to make this call
It is not irrelevant that you stopped taking your medicine
And I’m giving you the benefit ‘cause it′s raining out
I′ll tell you how the weather is
And you’ll slip into some eloquently ramblin′ mixed messaging
I should shut you down

But it’s cold, and it′s cold, 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 alone, I′m alone

I hope you tell me that you’re winding down
That you′ve lost the taste to face the crowd
That whatever made you famous made you sick
That you can only do what pain allows
It ain’t up to you to make it out
And there ain′t no shame in callin’ this thing quits

But you don’t, and you don′t, what 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 and you’re

Poison spreading to my lungs
I ain’t holding 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 morning when it’s me that turns it off
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

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 lot
Tell people it ain’t me you want, but I guess you′re my fault

You’re a ghost, 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

Poison spreading to my lungs
I ain′t holding 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 morning when it’s me that turns it off
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

Poison spreading to my lungs
I ain’t holding 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 morning when it’s me that turns it off
So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
