Porch Light Never Goes Out

You leave your coffee in the sink

Half-full

Half-cold

Like how we think

Same old argument in new clothes

Say it's fine

But the crack still shows

We keep talking in the same four rooms

Tracing circles on a worn-out couch

Every "sorry" just perfumes the wound

But we don't let the silence call us out

This love's a lease we never check out

Somehow the porch light never goes out

Your jacket's hanging on the chair

Haven't worn it since last year

We plan escapes on Friday nights

Then rinse the plates and kill the lights

We keep talking in the same four rooms

Tracing circles on a worn-out couch

Every "sorry" just perfumes the wound

But we don't let the silence call us out

This love's a lease we never check out

Somehow the porch light never goes out

If I packed a bag

Would you even ask?

Or just change the sheets

Sweep up the past?

We're too tired to leave

Too proud to stay

So we fold our doubts and put them away

We keep talking in the same four rooms

Tracing circles on a worn-out couch

Every "sorry" just perfumes the wound

But we don't let the silence call us out

This love's a lease we never check out

Somehow the porch light never goes out
