I was on your porch, the smoke sank into my skin
So, I came inside to be with you
And we talked all night
About everything we could imagine
'Cause come the morning I'll be gone
And as our eyes start to close
I turn to you, and I let you know that I love you
Well, my dad was sick
And my mom, she cared for him
Her love, it nursed him back to life
But me, I ran, I couldn't even look at him
For fear I'd have to say goodbye
And as I turn to leave
He grabs me by the shoulder, and he tells me:
"What's left to lose? You've done enough.
And if you fail, well, then you fail, but not to us.
'Cause these last three years, I know they've been hard,
But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun.
Even if it's alone."
So, now here I sit, in a hotel off of Sunset
My thoughts bounce off of Sam's guitar
And that's the way it's been
Ever since we were kids, but now...
Now we've got something to prove
And I, I can see their eyes
And tell me something, can they see mine?
What's left to lose? I've done enough
Oh, if I fail, well, then I fail, but I gave it a shot
These last three years, oh, they've been hard
But now it's time to get in out into the desert, and into the sun
Even if it's alone
Even if it's alone
I was on your porch last night
The smoke, it sank into my skin
