Back Porch Daydream

Lyrics

Verse 1
Kicked-off shoes on painted wood
Old swing creaks, yeah it feels so good
Ice cube clinks in a chipped glass cup
Cat in my lap just curled right up

Sky turns peach over tired trees
Warm air tangled in lazy breeze
Phone on silent, world far away
Just me and her and the end of the day

Chorus
Back porch daydream, gold on the sky
Cat purr loud, like a lullaby
Sun going down, but we don't mind
Let the light fade slow, slow, slow this time
Back porch daydream, nowhere to be
She blinks once like she agrees
If this is all I ever get
I could live and never forget

Verse 2
Her whiskers twitch at a passing fly
She tracks it once, then closes her eyes
I laugh quiet, take one more sip
Orange and violet on my fingertips

Neighbor’s dog starts a lazy bark
Streetlights wait for the dark
But here the moment hangs so still
Like time itself forgot the hill

Chorus
Back porch daydream, gold on the sky
Cat purr loud, like a lullaby
Sun going down, but we don't mind
Let the light fade slow, slow, slow this time
Back porch daydream, nowhere to be
She blinks once like she agrees
If this is all I ever get
I could live and never forget

Bridge
Maybe I don't need some bigger sign
Maybe this swing is the perfect line
Between what was and what could be
Her little heart beating on my knee (oh)

Chorus
Back porch daydream, gold on the sky
Cat purr soft, like a lullaby
Sun almost gone, but we don't mind
Holding on tight to the last warm light
Back porch daydream, you and me
Fading colors, quiet streets
If this is all I ever get
I could live and never forget
