[Live Intro — spoken] "Some people leave loud. Some people just... leave." [amp hum] [slow guitar bend] [RIFF] [Verse 1] Porch light's still on Same as last night Your side of the bed Cold in the moonlight Coffee cup Still by the sink Funny what stays When everything else leaves I could call you I could beg Could say all the things I should've said But wanting you here Ain't reason enough To make you come back To something you don't trust [Pre-Chorus] So I'll leave the light on Not for you For me [Chorus] PORCH LIGHT BURNING NOBODY HOME I CAN WANT YOU BACK AND STILL LET YOU GO PORCH LIGHT BURNING LOW AND SLOW LOVE DON'T MEAN YOU GOTTA COME HOME NO— LOVE DON'T MEAN YOU GOTTA COME HOME [Verse 2] I know my part Ain't hard to find I pushed too much When I should've gave time Held on tight Called it care You were already gone I just wasn't there Used to think love Meant hold the line Now I know sometimes Love steps aside Ain't noble Ain't clean Just hurts like hell And still lets you leave [Chorus] PORCH LIGHT BURNING NOBODY HOME I CAN WANT YOU BACK AND STILL LET YOU GO PORCH LIGHT BURNING LOW AND SLOW LOVE DON'T MEAN YOU GOTTA COME HOME NO— LOVE DON'T MEAN YOU GOTTA COME HOME [Heavy Break] [slow low-string riff] I could turn this pain Into anger Could turn your leaving Into blame Could call you cold Could call you wrong Could make myself The only one hurt in this song But that ain't true And truth's enough [Bridge — stripped, huge space] If you come back Come because you want to Not because I waited Not because I hurt Not because this light Stayed on all night Just come awake Or don't come at all [Guitar Solo — slow blues bends, long sustain, ugly feedback] [Final Chorus] PORCH LIGHT BURNING NOBODY HOME I CAN MISS YOU BAD AND STILL LET YOU GO PORCH LIGHT BURNING LOW AND SLOW LOVE DON'T MEAN YOU GOTTA COME HOME I'LL TURN IT OFF WHEN MORNING COMES NOT 'CAUSE I DON'T LOVE YOU JUST 'CAUSE THE NIGHT IS DONE PORCH LIGHT BURNING ONE LAST GLOW I CAN LOVE YOU AND LET YOU GO [Outro] [quiet guitar] Porch light's still on Morning's close That's enough [amp hum]
