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

When my dad was sick, my mom she cared for him
Her love, it 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. Well, you've done enough
And if you fail, well then you fail but not to us
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 it's alone"

So now here I sit
In a hotel off of sunset
My thoughts bounced 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
But tell me something. Can they see mine?

'Cause whats left to lose?
I've done enough
And if I fail then I fail but I gave it a shot
But 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
(Even if it's alone)
Even if it's alone

I was on your porch last night
The smoke it sank into my skin
