[Verse 1] I left the porch light on again Though no one said they’d come The kettle clicks, the hallway waits The evening settles dumb I keep a little room inside For something I can’t name A hand on the latch, a change of weather A life that feels less far away [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of making every morning Prove that I deserve to stay Maybe joy is taking the long road Maybe it will find its way [Chorus] I hope happiness finds me When I’ve stopped chasing the door Sets its coat down in the kitchen Like it’s been here before I hope happiness finds me Not because I finally changed Just sits beside me, ordinary And says my name [Verse 2] There’s a crack along the flowerpot A green leaf pushing through I’ve kept the bills in one neat stack And washed the coffee through The world can keep its grand arrivals I would take a quiet sign A laugh that doesn’t need explaining A little ease that might be mine [Pre-Chorus] I’m tired of making every morning Prove that I deserve to stay Maybe joy is taking the long road Maybe it will find its way [Chorus] I hope happiness finds me When I’ve stopped chasing the door Sets its coat down in the kitchen Like it’s been here before I hope happiness finds me Not because I finally changed Just sits beside me, ordinary And says my name [Bridge] If it comes in pieces, let it If it comes late, let it be I won’t make a test of every good thing I’ll let it sit with me I can leave the porch light burning I can sleep before it’s bright I don’t have to earn the morning I can meet it when it arrives [Final Chorus] I hope happiness finds me When I’ve stopped chasing the door Sets its coat down in the kitchen Like it’s been here before I hope happiness finds me And I’ll let it stay awhile Not a miracle, not a rescue Just a reason I can smile [Outro] The kettle clicks The room is warm I leave the porch light on
