lyrics

The Porch

As we sit on this porch we’ll watch the sun close it’s doors
Like we’ve done many times we’ll watch they day turn to night
and the conversation will turn to all those things that we’ve learned
instead of those things we could have done

I see the pain you hide through the sadness in your eyes
I’ve known you for years I know you’ll try and hide those tears
But the life that we lost is our accumulated cost
for all those things we try to out run

We’re the sons of the things that we love
We’re the sons of the dreams we will never become
We’re the sons of the curses we hold
We’re the sons of this place we call home

As the night rolls on by we’ll start to feel just fine
and the real life will get shelved with all the rest of our doubts
And once again we’ll dream like we’ve never actually seen
the real world and all that it is

But the years took their course and you can tell on this porch
cause the more that we try the more it seems just a lie
Just one more day to run from the life we don’t want
while haunted by the one that we do
