lyrics

(the porch light)

I used to leave it on for nobody in particular
A small yellow argument against an empty street
And I told myself it was for safety, for the steps
And I have never once tripped on those steps in my life

The porch light (the porch light)
On all night, the porch light
For nobody, the porch light
The porch light

The porch light, porch light, the porch light, porch light
Every lonely habit is a letter to a person
The porch light, porch light, the porch light, porch light
And I had been writing to him for about a year

He said he saw it from the road both nights he walked past.
He said he thought somebody was up. He said it looked warm.
So it was working. The whole time. It was working.
(BASS RETURNS, WARMER)

The porch light, porch light, the porch light, porch light
Every lonely habit is a letter to a person
The porch light, porch light, the porch light, porch light
And I had been writing to him for about a year

(it looked warm...)
