Lyrics

Porch [Tampa, Florida August 12 2000]

[Verse 1]

What the fuck is this world running to?

You didn't leave a message

At least I could have learned your voice one last time

Daily minefield, this could be my time by you

Would you hit me? Would you hit me?

Oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh, aw

[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 bearing home

Ain't indicative of my place

Left the porch, left the porch

Oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]

Oh, oh-oh

Hear my name, take a good look

This could be the day

Hold my hand, walk beside me

I just need to say

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]

Oh, oh-oh

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 when I would not ever

Touch you, hold you, feel you in my arms

Never again

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
