i was on your porch
the smoke sank into my skin
so i came inside to be with you
and we talked all night
about everything you could imagine
cause come the morning ill be gone
and as our eyes start to close
i turn to you and i let you know
that i love you
well my dad was sick
and my mom she cared for him
her love it nursed him back to life
while me i ran
i couldnt even look at him
for fear id have to say goodbye
and as i start to leave
he grabs me by the shoulder and he tells me
"whats left to lose
youve done enough
and if you fail well then you fail but not to us
cause these last three years
i know theyve been hard
but now its time to get out of this desert and into the sun
even if its alone"
so now here i sit
in a hotel off of sunset
my thoughts bounce of brans guitar
and thats the way its been
ever since weve been kids
but now, now weve got something to prove
and i, i can see their eyes
so tell me something, can they see mine?
cause whats left to lose
ive done enough
and if i fail well then i faill but i gave it a shot
and these last three years, i know theyve been hard
but now its time to get out of this desert and into the sun
even if its alone
i was on your porch last nite
the smoke it sank into my skin
