Porch Light

Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Two plates on the table
One candle burned low
I still leave the porch light on
Just in case you show
Your jacket hangs in the closet
Smells like cedar and rain
I hold it to my chest sometimes
And I say your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm the reason
Maybe I'm the fool
Maybe I'm just learning
How to miss you
[Chorus]
Wishing you were here
Right here beside me
Wishing you were here
Where the empty gets loud
Wishing you were here
Somebody remind me
How to sleep through a house
That forgot how to feel
Wishing you were here
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh
(Ooh-ooh)
Wishing you were here
(Ooh-ooh)
Wishing you were here
[Verse 2]
I drive past our old street
Turn the radio down
Every corner knows my car
Every block knows the sound
Of a man talking to nobody
Asking how you've been
Tracing circles on the wheel
Where your hand once landed
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm the reason
Maybe I'm the fool
Maybe I'm just learning
How to miss you
[Chorus]
Wishing you were here
Right here beside me
Wishing you were here
Where the empty gets loud
Wishing you were here
Somebody remind me
How to sleep through a house
That forgot how to feel
Wishing you were here
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh
(Ooh-ooh)
Wishing you were here
(Ooh-ooh)
Wishing you were here
[Bridge]
I learned to cook the way you liked
I learned to fold the sheets
I learned the shape of silence
Where your heartbeat used to be
I wait I wait I wait
(I wait I wait I wait)
[Chorus]
Wishing you were here
Right here beside me
Wishing you were here
Where the empty gets loud
Wishing you were here
Somebody remind me
How to sleep through a house
That forgot how to feel
Wishing you were here
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh
(Ooh-ooh)
Wishing you were here
(Ooh-ooh)
Wishing you were here
[Outro]
Wishing you were here
(Wishing you were here)
