[Verse 1]
I learned the quiet early
From a locked blue door
Little shoes by the hallway
Pressed to the floor
Every loud sound cut deep
Like glass in my chest
I made a small safe corner
And called it my best
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept my breath shallow
Kept my hands in my sleeves
If I spoke, the room cracked open
If I moved, they could see
[Chorus]
Broken porch light, stay on
I’m still here, I’m still here
Broken porch light, stay on
Through the fear, through the fear
When the dark gets heavy
And my name turns to rain
Hold the line with me
Hold the line with me
[Verse 2]
Now I wear the years wrong
Like a coat that don’t fit
Smile at the grocery
Then I fall apart in it
Some nights I stand at the edge
Of my own tired mind
And I call out for anybody
Who’s been left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
If you know this hallway
If you know this ache
Come sit on the floor with me
Let the whole room shake
[Chorus]
Broken porch light, stay on
I’m still here, I’m still here
Broken porch light, stay on
Through the fear, through the fear
When the dark gets heavy
And my name turns to rain
Hold the line with me
Hold the line with me
[Bridge]
I won’t name the way down
I won’t feed it a crown
I just need one steady heartbeat
To meet me on the ground
If you’re hurting too
Take my hand in the dark
We can be two cracked windows
Letting in one spark
[Final Chorus]
Broken porch light, stay on
I’m still here, I’m still here
Broken porch light, stay on
Through the fear, through the fear
When the dark gets heavy
And my name turns to rain
Hold the line with me
Hold the line with me
[Outro]
Stay on
Stay on
Hold the line with me
