I was on your porch The smoke sank into my skin So I came inside to be with you We talked all night About everything you 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 My mom, she cared for him Her loving nursed him back to life And me, I ran I couldn't even look at him For fear I'd have to say goodbye And as I start 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 have 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 Sam's guitar And that's the way its been Ever since we were kids, but now Now, we've got something to prove And I, I can see their eyes But tell me something, can they see mine? 'Cause what's left to lose? I've done enough And if I fail, then I fail, but I gave it a shot 'Cause these last three years I know they have been hard But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun Even if it's alone (Even if it's alone) Even if it's alone I was on your porch last night The smoke, it sank into my skin
