Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I was barefoot in the gravel, With a hand-me-down old pole He rolled his eyes when I walked up Like I didn’t quite belong His daddy tipped his hat at me Said, “Girl, come on along” But I could feel it in his silence Like I was something wrong I sat quiet by the river Watched the current run away Didn’t know it then, but I was Learning hearts don’t always stay He’d cast his line, I’d cast a wish Out into that muddy flow Hoping one day someone’d see me The way I couldn’t show Chorus Someday I’ll be loved like a front porch light Left on in the dark every single night Like a name in a prayer when the sky falls down Like a hand that stays when the world spins ‘round I don’t need forever carved in gold Just somebody who won’t let go Yeah I might not be enough right now But someday I’ll be loved ⸻ Verse 2 High school bleachers, Friday lights I was just outside his world He was chasing every dream he had I was just that quiet girl We danced once at the county fair Spun slow under neon glow But when the song was over, He let go like he didn’t know I drove home with the windows down Let the night air dry my tears Swore I’d never beg for something That don’t wanna stay right here But deep inside I kept a flame I couldn’t quite outrun That maybe somewhere down the road I’d be somebody’s “one” Chorus Someday I’ll be loved like a front porch light Left on in the dark every single night Like a name in a prayer when the sky falls down Like a hand that stays when the world spins ‘round I don’t need forever carved in gold Just somebody who won’t let go Yeah I might not be enough right now But someday I’ll be loved ⸻ Bridge Maybe I’m the long way ‘round Maybe I’m the broken road Maybe I’m the almost love Nobody could quite hold But I believe there’s a heart out there Beating just like mine Waiting on the right wrong turn At the perfect time ⸻ Verse 3 Now I’m older, standing strong With a past I’ve learned to hold Every scar’s a lesson Every tear turned into gold I ain’t chasing what won’t choose me I ain’t begging anymore ‘Cause I finally see my worth Like I never did before And if he walks in one day With forever in his eyes He won’t have to save me I’ll be right there by his side Not the girl who needed proving Not the one who feared goodbye But a woman who knows love Ain’t something you gotta fight ⸻ Final Chorus (Bigger) Someday I’ll be loved like a front porch light Burnin’ steady through the longest nights Like a promise kept when the storm rolls in Like a truth you feel deep under your skin I don’t need a fairytale untold Just a heart that won’t turn cold Yeah I waited long enough to know Someday I’ll be loved ⸻ Outro Yeah I waited long enough to know… I was always worth that love.
