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
 
 And me I ran
 
 I couldnt 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've been hard
 
 But now its 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 weve got something to prove
  
 
 And I, I can see their eyes
 
 But tell me something
 
 Can they see mine
 
 Cause whats left to lose
 
 I've done enough
 
 And if I fail well then I fail
 
 But I gave it a shot
 
 And 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 its alone
  
 
 I was on your porch last night
 
 The smoke it sank into my skin
