Porchlight Hands

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in late, boots by the door Rain on your sleeves, red mark on your jaw You said, “I’m tired,” like you’d said it before I said, “Come here,” and you fell to the floor Your name on my lips Like a prayer I know Your hand in my hand Makes the whole room glow [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t need perfect I just need you near I see my future When you lean in here [Chorus] Keep your hand in mine Keep your hand in mine I can face the world With your hand in mine You know me by heart You know me by heart If the night comes hard We won’t fall apart Keep your hand in mine [Verse 2] Coffee gone cold on the scarred wood table Your laugh cuts through when I’m barely able You leave your shoes by the old porch step Small little things I’ll never forget You touch my face Like you mean stay I was a closed door You found your way [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t need perfect I just need you near I see my future When you lean in here [Chorus] Keep your hand in mine Keep your hand in mine I can face the world With your hand in mine You know me by heart You know me by heart If the night comes hard We won’t fall apart Keep your hand in mine [Bridge] If the road goes long If the skies go black I’ll be right beside you I’ll bring you back No grand parade No silver flame Just your slow breath And my last name [Final Chorus] Keep your hand in mine Keep your hand in mine I can face the world With your hand in mine You know me by heart You know me by heart If the night comes hard We won’t fall apart Keep your hand in mine Keep your hand in mine Keep your hand in mine I don’t need forever Just your hand in mine
