Lyrics

Porch

[Verse 1]

What the fuck is this world runnin' to? You didn't

Leave a message, at least I coulda learned your voice one last time

Daily minefield, this could be my time by you

Would you hit me? Would you hit me?

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh oh oh

Oh, ow

[Verse 2]

All the bills go by and initiatives are taken up

By the middle; there ain't gonna be any middle anymore

And the cross I'm bearin' home ain't indicative of my place

Left the porch, left the porch

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh oh oh

[Chorus]

Hear my name, take a good look

This could be the day

Hold my hand, walk beside me

I just need to say

[Bridge]

(Yeah, ah)

(Yeah, no)

(Oh, ooh)

(Ooh)

(Yeah, yeah)

[Interlude]

Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah

Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah

Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah

Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah

[Chorus]

Hear my name, take a good look

This could be the day

Hold my hand, lie beside me

I just need to say

[Outro]

I could not take, oh, just one day

I know that I would not ever

Touch you, hold you, feel you in my arms

Never again

Yeah-hey-hey, yeah-hey-hey

Yeah-hey-hey

Yeah-hey-hey, yeah-hey-hey

Yeah-hey-hey

Yeah-hey-hey, yeah-hey-hey

Yeah-hey-hey

Yeah-hey-hey, yeah-hey-hey

Yeah-hey-hey
