[Intro]
(Yeah, yeah)
(Just the front porch, baby)
(Watch the neon glow)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop, listen close)
[Verse 1]
Every time you whisper softly in my ear, telling me you'll always be near
They're nothing more than empty words that turn to fables in the atmosphere
One moment you're with me, and the next minute you're gone
You're so unreliable, playing the exact same song
I heard my heart beating in my chest when we first met
Every ripple and groove of you, an electric silhouette
You came back requesting Motown, playing it smooth and slow
But you stayed on my front porch, with nowhere left to go!
(Nowhere left to go, baby!)
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m utterly falling, pulled from extreme to extreme
Trying to wake up from this neon-colored dream!
It's not about us between the sheets, it's the friction in the dark
We are evenly matched and ruthless, but you stepped on the spark!
(Wake up!)
[Beat Drop]
[Chorus]
I can't deny the friction, I can't deny the spark! (The spark!)
But we're evenly matched and ruthless in the dark! (Ruthless!)
You never made it through the door to make it real
Leaving our front porch fables with nothing left to feel!
I told my heart to save itself, to lock up the bed
No longer restless with your ghost inside my head!
Yeah, you want the electricity, but you won't step in the light!
I'm leaving you on the porch tonight! (Leaving you tonight!)
[Verse 2]
My pride is so strong, I wanted to run home to you
But the shadows linger in the things we didn't do
You crave what I could've given, the passion that I hold
But nothing ever turned out, the story went cold
I'm too much for you, exotic and wild and free
You never met a woman who loves quite like me
I told my heart earlier I would save myself for the one
No more disorganized life, the damage is done!
(Damage is done, yeah!)
[Bridge]
We're both haunted by the past, locking doors and holding fast
You linger on the steps, but this feeling isn't gonna last
I'm stepping out of the fables, breaking the heavy mold
Leaving you in the neon, leaving you in the cold!
(Leaving you in the cold!)
(Shoo-wop, let the bass drop!)
[Chorus]
[Acapella]
I can't deny the friction, I can't deny the spark...
But we're evenly matched and ruthless in the dark...
[Full Force]
You never made it through the door to make it real!
Leaving our front porch fables with nothing left to feel!
I told my heart to save itself, to lock up the bed!
No longer restless with your ghost inside my head!
Yeah, you want the electricity, but you won't step in the light!
I'm leaving you on the porch tonight!
[Outro]
Front porch fables. (No more)
You never made it through the door. (Electricity fading)
Utterly falling... not. (Mmm, yeah, I'm out.)
(Ski-bi-di-bop, taking back the night)
[Fade Out]
[End]
