Porch Light

Mm, mm-mm

I would ask you 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-assed half-apology

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

It is not irrelevant that you stopped taking your medicine

But 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 lost thе taste to face the crowd

That whatеver 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 holdin' 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 lots

And 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 holdin' 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

Ooh-oh

Poison spreading to my lungs

I ain't holdin' 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
