Leave the Porch Light

[Verse 1] I keep my phone face up By the bed all night I talk too much Then I care too hard I give my last good hour Like it’s nothing at all Then the room goes still And I hear my own heart [Pre-Chorus] I was built to hold on Built to wait Built to say “stay” And mean it But the clock keeps moving And I’m left here Counting out the cracks In the ceiling [Chorus] Don’t leave me in the dark Don’t leave me in the dark I wait for your call Like a dog at the door Don’t leave me in the dark Don’t leave me in the dark I want you here Till the morning shows (til the morning shows) (til the morning shows) [Verse 2] Special person, where you at? I saved you a seat Got two cold cups And a story to keep I’d trade the whole room For one soft voice Saying, “I’m here now” And staying with me [Pre-Chorus] But life has other plans It turns the key Walks right past My open hands So I sit real quiet In the blue of night With a heart too full For the dark to hide [Chorus] Don’t leave me in the dark Don’t leave me in the dark I wait for your call Like a dog at the door Don’t leave me in the dark Don’t leave me in the dark I want you here Till the morning shows (til the morning shows) (til the morning shows) [Bridge] If I love too loud If I need too much It’s still me It’s still love I’m not asking for forever Just one hand In the quiet When I start to drift [Final Chorus] Don’t leave me in the dark Don’t leave me in the dark I wait for your call Like a dog at the door Don’t leave me in the dark Don’t leave me in the dark Hold me here Till the morning shows (till the morning shows) (till the morning shows)
