[Intro] [Male vocal only, tenor, plain, with one fingerpicked guitar, singing the hook alone. Two bars.] Two driveways And two porch lights Nobody's going in tonight [Verse 1] [Male vocal only, close and conversational. Fingerpicked guitar only. Lots of air.] Every night at six-ten your headlights cut And you sit there while the engine cools down I water the same plant twice So I'll look busy, so I'm not watching [pause] [Chorus] [Male vocal only. Melody opens gently. Brushed drums and upright bass enter. Warm and a little wistful.] Two driveways and two porch lights Nobody's going in tonight Two driveways, and two porch lights Engines running in the dark [pause] [Verse 2] [Male vocal only, same plain voice, warmer. Fingerpicked guitar and soft felt piano.] Tuesday I'm the one who can't go in Keys still in my hand, my engine ticking down Your curtain moves across the street Now I'm the one you're not watching [pause] [Chorus] [Male vocal only. Fuller: soft felt piano, brushed drums a little stronger, upright bass. Same words held a little harder.] Two driveways and two porch lights Nobody's going in tonight Two driveways and two porch lights Engines running in the dark [pause] [Bridge] [Male vocal only, hushed, near-spoken. Drums and bass drop out. Only bare fingerpicked guitar, then near silence. Tension building.] Your porch light blinks Just once Not hello, not how are you It's asking what I'm asking Are you sitting out here too? [Near silence for one beat.] [Answer] [Male vocal only, quiet, plain, a single sung line, alone with one guitar chord. Then the drums and bass return together as he finishes the line.] I blink mine back [pause] [Final Chorus] [Male vocal only. Full band, warm and open, the gentlest lift in the song. Relief offered and kept.] Two driveways and two porch lights Neither one of us goes in alone Two driveways and two porch lights Engines running, and somebody knows [pause] [Outro] [Male vocal only for the first line, then female vocal only for the second. Never overlapping, plain and soft. The band thins to one held guitar chord.] Mine's on Yours is on [End]
