Porch Light Promise

Lyrics

Verse 1
I used to wear my worry
Like a shirt too tight
Kept my mouth shut
And my mind up all night
I missed your eyes at dinner
Missed the joke you threw
I was in my head
While life was talking to you

Pre-Chorus
Now I’m leavin’ that room
Where the fear runs free
I’m comin’ back home
Little by little, to me

Chorus
I’m findin’ my way
Back to you
Back to the table
Back to the truth
Better father, better partner
Better friend to you
I’m findin’ my way
Back to you

Verse 2
This morning I made coffee
Packed a lunch on time
Kissed your forehead quick
And felt the sun in my spine
I still got rough edges
Still got days that sting
But I’m learnin’ how to carry
What the hard days bring

Pre-Chorus
Now I’m leavin’ that room
Where the fear runs free
I’m comin’ back home
Little by little, to me

Chorus
I’m findin’ my way
Back to you
Back to the table
Back to the truth
Better father, better partner
Better friend to you
I’m findin’ my way
Back to you

Bridge
If I go quiet
Pull me close again
If I start to slip
Say my name like a friend
I’m done livin’ half here
Done talkin’ in circles too
I’m showin’ up steady
That’s what I owe to you

Chorus
I’m findin’ my way
Back to you
Back to the table
Back to the truth
Better father, better partner
Better friend to you
I’m findin’ my way
Back to you (back to you)
