Sittin’ on this old porch swing, Watchin’ the sun dip down, The air's thick with the smell of pine, As the fireflies dance around. My heart is heavy, just like the sky, A storm’s blowin’ in from the west, Got a coffee cup that’s cold and empty, Just like the love I never possess. (Chorus) But I found inspiration, In the shadows of my doubt, When the world feels so forsaken, I’ll turn my pain inside out. With a sip of whiskey and a wish in the well, I’m learnin’ to love this lonely spell. (Verse 2) Last summer, I was starin’ at the stars, With a friend who knew me well, We’d laugh ‘til we were cryin’, In that little town by the river’s swell. But he moved away to chase his dreams, Left me with this empty chair, Now it’s just me and these old guitar strings, And the ghosts of the love I can’t compare. (Chorus) But I found inspiration, In the shadows of my doubt, When the world feels so forsaken, I’ll turn my pain inside out. With a sip of whiskey and a wish in the well, I’m learnin’ to love this lonely spell.

(Verse 3) So I sit here with my memories, Like echoes of a faded song, I’m building a life on these dreams of mine, Finding strength where I feel I’m wrong. And every tear that falls like a gentle spring, Pours out the love I’ve never known, But I promise I’ll keep writing, ‘Cause I’ve turned my scars into stone. (Chorus) And I found inspiration, In the shadows of my doubt, When the world feels so forsaken, I’ll turn my pain inside out. With a sip of whiskey and a wish in the well, I’m learnin’ to love this lonely spell. (Outro) So here’s to the nights of feelin’ low, And the dawn that brings new light, I’ll hold my heart in a lonesome glow, ‘Cause I know that I’ll be alright
